Two letters from AGOG readers, sent by Random House (plus three

$100 (retail value).
Called Fred Feucht. He has the typewritten rules for
SUPER-TAC-TOE. He'll send me a Xerox. He has been trying to
see Marshall Lucas during his trips to M.B. [Milton Bradley] He did see his assistant
and hopes to see Lucas soon. I told him that Herb Hochstetter
had called Phil. I told him to keep me posted so that I
don't end up having SUPER-TAC-TOE in two places.
Deposited Random House check in Knickerbocker.
In a toy store on Boston Road looked at TOSS ACROSS in the window.
Noticed that there is a triangular piece in each space with one
face that belongs to neither player.
Jerry D'Arcey called from a hotel in New York. Talked awhile and
they I called him back and we talked a lot more. He just came from
Salem where he showed TOP DOG to Bill Dohrmann. His initial reaction
was good, and he promised an answer in a week and a half.

will come here to stay. Told Jerry I rcd. [received] CONTIGO.
