Summary
Informing Loviot that he has misunderstood a set of capital letters in L'Erocaligenesie, signed I.I.D.M.P, and explaining how to find the real name of the author hidden in the 13 first lines of a sonnet; asking Loviot if he knows of a recent biographical work on the presidents and members of the Parliament of Paris so he can figure out which Jean-Jacques de Mesmes wrote L'Erocaligenesie; informing Loviot that he would like to publish information about the author in La revue des livres anciens and will be able to do it sooner if he can get this information; noting that his edition of Escraignes is from 1588 and that he bought it in 1903.
