SATURDAY 25 JULY 1970

St. James, Apostle 206th day - 159 days to come

Rcd. another copy of INTERPLANETARY COMMUNICATOR (without date or number). Has articles on MARTIAN CHESS (JETAN), WAR OF THE RINGS, COSMIC DIPLOMACY, and LENSMAN.

Rcd. a letter from Michael Trombetta (who is interested in CASE OF THE ELUSIVE ASSASSIN). He sent the rules for a Hawaiian game KONANE.

Trying to solve TORTURE TOWER, couldn't.

Read the rules for QUERIES 'N THEORIES. Quite interesting.

(cont. from 7/29) [7/31]

as a favor, but if any creative work on my part was involved I would want a cut of the royalties.
They are close to buying "Crestline" in California but there is a possibility that they may also, or instead, buy "Field Mfg. Co." on Long Island. If they do he will want to talk to me about the possibility of my working for them, using this office as a base.
They were written up in "Business Week" (I believe) and altho the games were only a small part of the article they rcd. a number of GAMEs for possible publication, mainly card games. There are about 25 of these and he will write to me about them since he is quite interested in card GAMEs and would like to see any I have.
I mentioned that ZODIAC 111 was simply CANASTA and he agreed.
He will send ,e a box of blank cards for preparing models. I asked when the latest time was that the games could be submitted and still make it for "Stationery Show" next year. He said the end of the year. I said I'd get some to him by then.
I invited him over this evening and he said he'd try (he didn't make it) but that if he couldn't he would certainly do it next time he is in town.

The DAILY NEWS had an article on the "Hallmark" Game exhibit. Didn't mention me. (Filed in Articles from Periodicals.) [started 7/31]

The check for $1,544.89 came from 3M.
