Answer:
he wants to read letters that are closest to him last
Step-by-step explanation:
In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," the protagonist refuses to read Artemidorus' letter, which warns him about Brutus, Cassius, Casca and the rest of the men in the Congress. The reason is that they are planning a conspiracy against him and his life is in danger. However, Caesar ignores the man and wonders whether he is insane, since he intends to make his petition in public instead of in the Congress, as Cassius then tells Artemidorus:
"ARTEMIDORUS
Oh, Caesar, read mine first, for my petition affects you more directly. Read it, great Caesar.
CAESAR
What touches us ourself shall be last served.
CAESAR
Whatever pertains to myself I will deal with last."
