Brought a copy of <u>FOCUS</u> to office for "Al," to give to his
nephew. (Earlier in week Al brought back the copy of
<u>''AGOG''</u> he gave to his nephew for me to autograph.)
Took the 26 storage boxes back from the office. Had to
make two trips, giving the porter $1 to watch them
while I made the first trip.
Gave "Walt Adamski" and "Al Costeles" the two copies of
<u>SNAFU</u> "Renwal" gave me Thursday.
Looked at the rules of my games preparatory to
demonstrating them at "Hallmark" Gallery. Did some
fixing of the typos in the <u>COMBINATION</u> column, tho
BB did most of this. Put red checks next to my
games on the "3M," "Stancraft," and "Renwal" brochures,
some of them that is.
Rcd. Sept. <u>''PANZERFAUST''</u>. Had a complete game by Chris Johnson
- <u>POLTAWA</u>.
In looking at the rules for <u>VENTURE</u> saw that in the
new Gamette version they have eliminated scoring for
cards remaining in hand at end. The new rule-score
the same as for a profit card at the end.
BB bought me four boxes of polished stones in a Japanese
import store - 2 of large stones & 2 of small.

(cont. from 8/30) [9/1]
Rcd. the Sept.-Oct. 1970 <u>''IDEAS NEWSLETTER''</u>.
Rcd. a card from <u>Mike Abrams</u>. <u>SUCCESSION</u> will be out
in March 1971, put out by <u>Dr. R. Garry Shirts</u> of "Similie II." He
is also trying to get it, put out by "ABALGA" in Sweden.
He sees "Nothing but positive Reviews on your book (<u>''AGOG''</u>).
Sent a letter to <u>Jim Kraus</u> with my ideas on the rare
stone theme. Also suggesting <u>SOLUTION</u> or <u>SLEUTH</u> as names
to replace <u>SEARCH</u>.
When I spoke to Bob Edwards he didn't say anything about my
coming to Kansas City, so I didn't either. (This happened,
or rather didn't happen, yesterday.)
