_My General_:
September 7 I had the honor to direct your attention to the scandal
that certain people were threatening to precipitate, and I permitted
myself to say to you that, in my opinion, if we do not take the
initiative, we shall have much trouble on our hands. The article
from “L’Eclair” which you will find enclosed confirms me unhappily
in my opinion. I shall try to find out who has succeeded so well in
preparing the bomb. But I believe it my duty to affirm once more that
it is necessary to act without delay. If we wait longer, we shall be
run over, and imprisoned in an inextricable situation, where it will
be impossible for us to establish the real truth. Be good enough, etc.,
