Madan informs Osler that he has been elected with unanimity into the fraternity of the oldest senior Club at Oxford. Details on the election and on the days the Club meet. Internal details on this group. Civilities.
Madan thanks Osler for his suggestion to print a Bodleian Quarterly Record. Madan outlines his plans to carry out such a project.
Madan is sorry to have caused trouble. He found that the Account of the Bodleian Picture Restoration Fund is at London, County and Westminster Bank. He never thought that the Committee would choose that Bank so as to avoid confusion with the Bodley account at the Old Bank. His employees have been impressed by Osler's running powers and semi-violent congratulations on Keble Road. News of Kipling's grandchildren. Remarks that bridges cannot join the Dodecahedron, only Carter of Magdalen can, as well as the Warden of All Souls.
Madan discusses Osler's scheme for a "College of the Book." He suspects that Osler never pursued this scheme because it would have competed with the new school of Librarianship at the University of London. He suggests that Cushing consult "The Library," by John MacAlister.
