1826 letter

[Kendra71]

Hello, I am reading an 1826 letter from an English army officer. I have made sense of most of it, but I am struggling with one word. My own ideas make no sense. Do you have any thoughts please?

"...removed from the Regiment to gain [_____] for himself but he was mistaken. I should have published..."

[Kendra71]

I have one other query from the same letter please. Do you have any thoughts on what this word might be?

"Return the
enclosed &
acquaint him that
it is [_______] for me
to enter into the communication
of any questions at..."

"Return the
enclosed &
acquaint him that
it is [impossible] for me
to enter into the communication
of any questions at..."

The word from the first letter could be "alacrity", but not sure if that makes sense.

"alacrity" was the exact word I read too.

What is the whole sentence before that word please?

[Treetotal]

I see alacrity too, before I saw the answers.

I see 'accurity' or 'accuity'

Acuity/accuity means:
 
sharpness or keenness of thought, vision, or hearing.
"intellectual acuity"

Thank you all for your help with these queries. "impossible" fits perfectly, and the suggestions of "accuity / acuity" also fit, in the sense of clarity and sharpness. Sorry for the slow response - I missed the notifications that I had a reply.

I have one other request in the same hand please, and it's something to do with 'malice'. The letter dates to about 1831 and is English:
"...from being exposed. I have heard your Lordship tell a certain Peer in the House of Lords that his language was malice [_______]. I can safely say..."

"Malice prepense" - a legal term meaning malice aforethought.
