Letter from Michael Dummett. Sent me a table of con- tents of his prospective book. Asked if I new "U.S. Games Systems" & Stuart Kaplan. Will explain when he sees me.
He expects to be in New York around the week-end of the 22nd Nov. and would like to get together then. (I doubt if I'll be able to have the repros [crossout] that he wants ready by then.)
