203rd day - 162 days to come

Dear Harry,
I am enclosing a check for $3.50 in payment for a copy of
NEBULA 19. Your ad in the July INTERNATIONAL WARGAMER was
most interesting.
Looking forward to playing NEBULA 19. Sincerely,

Gentlemen:
I recently had the pleasure of seeing a copy of your book
YESTERDAY'S GAMES, edited by Dr. Larry Freeman.
I would like topurchase a copy for myself. If you will let me
know the price I will be happy to send a check. Sincerely,
Felicia called. An American Indian gal has a Ford Foundation
grant to prepare a documentary on creativity. Her name -
Janna Beebe. She is working with the Columbia (University)
Press Service. She contacted Felicia. They would like to
film a NYGA meeting at Felicia's. Felicia set it up for
7/29 at 1:30, and I said I'd contact Claude & the Amberstones.
Felicia asked me to tell Claude to take back PACK MY TRUNK.
No one likes it at all.
I told Felicia about 3M games in the JAPAN TIMES. She'll try
to find the date in the public library.
Janna Beebe conducts a TV program in Seattle, Washington.
Called Arthur. Told him about the filming at Felicia's.
He called me after checking with Wald and they'll be
there.
After Wald played MONOPOLY on his weekend away, he
and Arthur worked on a financial game, TOWN AND COUNTRY.
It still needs work and if they can have it fixed
by next Thursday they will bring it. It can be played by 2.
Martin Gardner called. He is doing a column on HALMA
type puzzles and asked me some questions on it. Told him
I had the book HAND BOOK OF REVERSI HALMA & C and he was
impressed. It is mentioned in CARD & TABLE GAMES by Prof. Hoffman.
I mentioned Parker's edition of HALMA. He brought up
CAMALOT and I mentioned CHIVALRY, SALTA, and JUMPIN.
He saw Conway (of LIFE) and some other mathematic-
