Abstract
The note discusses the «Mailbox» section of two St. Petersburg humor magazines, Satirikon and New Satirikon. It is suggested that the source of the title of Mikhail Bulgakov’s unfinished work, that eventually received the title Theatrical Novel, but was called Notes of a Dead Man by the author, could have been a letter from the Editor-in-Chief of New Satirikon Arkady Averchenko. This letter, published in the «Mailbox» section of this magazine, mentions the title of a short story «Notes of a Dead Man» by an unknown author, rejected by New Satirikon.
