of Touche and I supplied the name.) She also has appointments with other inventors.

To "Cadaco" and spoke to Dan Monahan. Told him of leaving work. He said that their volume has been a- bout the same as last year, but their profit will probably be down.
Gave me a copy of POK-A-DICE. It is changed a bit from Tony's original rules.
He suggested again that I submit games. I said I would after I get back on my feet following the operation.

To Jack Davis. Got a copy of PLOY and glossies of PLOY, MONAD, and VENTURE.
Jane Jordan asked for some of the pictures of me to include their souvenir book of the exhibit. This had the largest attendance of any except their X'Mas shows.
Jack has not written his report to Bob MacCumber on what happened to me at the exhibit, but he will as soon as he gets a break in his work load.
He asked the one in charge of the European operation about the games. The only one the fellow could think of that was doing well was TWIXT, but games are only a small part of his operation.
I mentioned the two German books with mentions of ACQUIRE and other 3M games. I'll call him next week and give him the names and publishers so that he can pass them on to the one in charge.
Jack was wondering when T&N would do the article on the Gamette packaging. I told him I thought it was in the Sept. issue. I'll check on this and let him know next week.
Jack gave me 6 copies of the large color catalog.

Rcd. a letter from Warren Buell with a lot of clippings, some of which I had and others new. He may be in New York on Nov. 12/13.

Rcd. another long letter from Haar Hoolim with a letter to and from "T.H. O'Beirne" (PUZZLES AND PARADOXES). Also more thoughts on his game FAR.
