X'Mas card from Frank Thibault with note. He has a contract for a GAME with Hallmark, his first try. He sees my games around a lot. 
Wrote to Frank. Told him about PROFIT. Asked about CONTIGO, FRANCHISE and SKULLDUGGERY.

Rcd. NOST-ALGIA (Dec. '71, No. 140). Contains rules for EULER SQUARES which Bill Rawlings says is an improvement on TEN-SQUARE by John Thayer. 
The backnumbers I was interested in are still available.

Called Arnold Edson to say I'd be willing to try to write instructions for NIMBI et al. He said that he'll try it today himself, then bring it up to Gabriel. He'll call me tomorrow to let me know what turns out.

Sent X'Mas cards to Roy Assenheimer (see 12/11), Warren Buell, & Paul Greenough. 
Sent X'Mas cards & short thank you messages to the following who complimented me in answered the SLEUTH problem : R.A. Jesser, Arthur J. Whitaker, Gary Carlson, D. Kucera.

Bob Gellman called. He found an outfit who sells slides and has their catalog. He may use them if he can't come to terms with Martine Gilcrest, even tho the quality is probably not as good. Went over the cities I chose to see that they had enough slides. They did. We may change Abidjan to Casablanca and Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem. I suggested that we get Ruth Shaler into a conference to pick the best sights for each city. (This actually happened tomorrow. Bob called this day, but I can't remember specifically why.) JET HOLIDAY. In the call he agreed that Bob would call Felicia to set up a date.

Ruth Shaler called to thank me about JET HOLIDAY. She also said that she felt guilty ever splitting royalties since I had done so much more. I said that there wouldn't have been a game without her original idea. She said we'd discuss it again and I didn't say "No." Set up a tentative date at Felicia's at 2:00 P.M. on 1/18/72.

Finished reading YOUR MOVE which I have been looking at in odd moments.

Working on a layout of cards for FOREIGN INTRIGUE.

Went over the solution I originally had for SEARCH problem, making it applicable to SLEUTH.

Rcd. a call from Lowell F. Schechter. He is an American teaching in England. He is visiting his parents near here and was interested
