I in the 2nd have remarked in accordance with official

usage that Y.E. has forgotten conversation .with owr frieni

a polite way of putting the matters. .-I can hardly think

that Your Excollency ’has forgotton, but I think that

mischiof making members of your staff-are draf t ing • lo t ten
for Y;E. to sign which aro not in accordance with fact.
As an old friend and well wisher, T desire to warn

Y.E. against such mischief makers, as the results of
thoir machinations and self-interosted advice is always

bad. It is unnecessary to mention names' - I ment-ipn "self

interested advice" and suggest to Y.E. that you.would *.
