Rc'd. a letter from <u>Violet I. Gunther</u>. I can get the copy of
<u>TOURING</u> for $3 plus .50¢ postage.
Rc'd. a note from <u>Frank Armbruster</u> that he was sending
me a copy of <u>TAKE FIVE</u> (the California one), and
also a <u>PUZZLE</u>.
To Copyquik and got repros of <u>ALSOS</u> and
<u>MARIAS</u> for <u>Michael Dummett</u>t.
Also made repros of the <u>MANHATTAN MADNESS</u> rules-
2 copies.
Also 12 copies of column from <u>''S&T''</u> #24, and some
pages from others to send to <u>Frank Thibault</u>.
At Speakeasy Antiques, on Broadway north of 8th St. bought
a copy of <u>SPOOF</u> (M.B. 1918) for $6.00 plus tax.
To <u>Carl Eisenberg</u> and gave him the <u>MANHATTAN MADNESS</u>
rules. He read thru them and found them clear. Gund
decided not to put any more money in the business. He
is trying to raise it elsewhere, but it is rough. He should
know by the end of this month. He said if I have
someone else to show it to, he'd understand. I said that
I would want it by Toy Fair, but not likely before.
To <u>Felicia</u>. She had just called BB about a letter from
<u>Bob Edwards</u>. <u>TOTALLY</u> & <u>TROMINO GO</u> were received fairly
well and are still in testing.
<u>LIVE WIRE</u> sounds exciting. He remembers playing it with
Rudy & me and is looking forward to seeing it soon. (Told
Felicia I'd try to have it ready Friday of next week
when she comes over.)
<u>COFFEE BREAK</u> from the picture looks like it is all luck
and doesn't excite them.
Games did very well at X'Mas in the Kansas City area and
the higher ups at X are showing some interest. (Felicia
said that <u>Jim Goldsberry</u> (?) showed more enthousiasm -
when?)
No mention of <u>WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU?</u> and Felicia will
ask again.
Jerry Green told Felicia that their game would be called
THE DICTIONARY GAME and would retail for $5.98.
Some people in Spokane manufacture a word
