19 WEDNESDAY - JANUARY 1972
ROBERT E. LEE - BORN 1807 - 347 DAYS TO COME


Rcd. a letter from Jim Bynum asking if I had rcd.
THE NINE CHECKER GAME (see 11/16/71).
Rcd. Jan. PLAYTHINGS. Nothing of particular interest.

Call from Phil Orbanes. He will try to set up an appointment
with Bill Knox to show him HABITAT and
HONORABLE RELATIONS, as soon as possible.

Hoi Polloi is still interested in FREE FORM, in possibly a
$5 or $6 package, so as not to conflict with Bill Knox.
Phil had worked up some wooden puzzles for Hoi Polloi
to sell at about $3. Reiss showed them to buyers at
a Chicago Show. They thought they were too expensive.
They [illegible crossed out] (Hoi Polloi) are very anxious for wooden
items in the $1 and $2 range.
When Phil leaves Hoi Polloi there are a number of manufacturers
who want him to work on development for
fees and royalties. He wants me to get into this with
him and we'll talk about it next month.
Yesterday he showed me a box he had devised to be folded
from a single piece of cardboard, which does the same
job as the three pieces used in THE 9TH DIMENSION TAROT.
