My dear Comte,
The rascal d'Enfou is certainly up to something, as he has managed to intercept my mail for nearly a fortnight now. Despite his best efforts, however, I immediately became aware of this deception. I am certain the misinformation I have fed him will keep him chasing his tail for quite some time.
While it pains me to give up such an excellent device, I have discovered further information that must be made known to your person. While I was thrashing the servant who provided d'Enfou's man access to my correspondence, he cried out, "D'Osny!" When I demanded to know what he meant by this, he refused to speak further. At first I thought that this was merely a ruse of d'Enfou's, to throw me off the track and make us suspect one of our own. But now that the Vicomtesse de Marsan's evidence has come to light I cannot afford to doubt it. It seems that one of the traitor's men has penetrated our very circle.
Your servant,
Henri, Marquis de Volanges
