You ask, who are these inveterate enemies of mine?
Well, first of all, those whom you yourself conjecture.
And, secondly, the enemies whom every Minister has, the numbers of those who would fain be in his place.

Finally, a crowd of political mountebanks from the Jockey Club, who are disgusted because they had hoped for some personal advantage through my influence, and I have ignored them.No.3 is a comfortingly negligible quantity, No.

2 are dangerous, but No.

1 are deadly.
In any case, then, my days are numbered.

Heaven be thanked, relief is not far off.
