Rcd. $250 check from "3M", for PROFIT, altho there was no identification again.
The contract between "Infinity Quest" and me for NINE OF SWORDS, called THE SWORD GAME in the contract, came. Also an option contract to buy 100 shares of "Infinity Quest" stock at 15 up till 11/30/73.
Rcd. an ad for "Munro Games." They are action HOCKEY games, made in Canada. PLAYTHINGS sent my request to them.
Rcd. a card, mimeo report, and personal report from Father Daniel. Because of AGOG he has gotten a few orders for NUMBER FOOTBALL. He has a variation of BACKGAMMON which he calls FRONTGAMMON.

He said he really wasn't interested in the game, altho he would play it. The inventor had some inexpensive puzzles that Carl thought were good.
