Put TOGETHERNESS into a hosiery box and covered the written parts with black contact.

Listed the following games to check the list prices at 200 5th Ave. tomorrow: - MANHUNT, WHODUNIT, COOKS TOURS, MONEY CARD, OPTILE, MASTER MIND, EL GAME.
Went over a few sources - mainly MOVES mag. [magazine] - and prepared a list of magazines for Bob Gellman to send PATTON to: - STRATEGY & TACTICS (Martin Campion), ANSCHLUSS (Joseph Autosiak - see 6/24), THE GAMESLETTER, PANZERFAUST, ALBION, CONFLICT, THE SPARTAN SIMULATION GAMING JOURNAL, BATTLE FLAG.
