FRIDAY 6 AUGUST 1971
Transfiguration
218th day - 147 days to come

Rcd. a glossy picture of BUGS 'N LOOOPS, together with a note.

Rcd. a report on AGOG. I am now $182.43 behind. It would have
been worse but there were $120.78 in book club sales.

Sent the letter to Fabio I promised yesterday.

With BB yo visit Al & Adela Richter.
He had rcd. a Summer Catalog from Brentano's. One of the
things they included was NINE OF SWORDS.
He had a copy of TIC TAC THREE which he rcd. in
answer to the PLAYTHINGS card. (I rcd. an invoice
on 7/15 but haven't rcd the package.) It is played
by 2 on a board as shown.

[Diagram of a 3 x 3 square grid. Each square is populated with 3 symbols - a triangle, a square, and a circle.]

Each player has pcs. in his color in each of the 3 shapes. Place pcs.
in turn until all spaces (or possibly one is not
used) are filled. Score one for each line of three
in the same shape. Also for three in the same square. This
is identical with a 3-D board, without the vertical diagonals. These
could possibly be added.
He had two puzzles. One he called SIX BEADS. There
are 4 rings as shown. Each has ten (I believe)
lines marked with from 0 to 3 "beads" on each. Object
is to place them on a spindle so that there are 6
beads in each vertical line.

The other was similar to the one on 5/27 but it was
finished with a fancier design, one that went with its
name - HARLEQUIN.
These are probably the
