Summary
Sharing the other titles that he has considered for their proposed illustrated journal of bibliophilia but decided would not work in the long run; asking Loviot's opinion on the title "Bibliophile"; sharing his opinion that "Bibliophile" is too long a title; adding that the journal could be called "Recherches sur les livres anciens", which will be abbreviated in reference materials as "Recherches. 1914. II. 415"; hoping that title has not been used by another journal.
