9 WEDNESDAY - MAY 1973
129TH DAY - 236 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. [received] the OPERATION GREIF rules with uncut counters. The game uses THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE board. (Put the material in the box of that game.)

Send a copy of the NINE OF SWORDS solution to Klara Karlan.

Wrote to Earl Doherty. Invited him, Alfons, & Martindale here on 5/20. Mentioned KGB, CHESSWORD, and THE GREAT DOWNHILL SKI GAME.
