FEBRUARY 1974 - FRIDAY 22
53RD DAY - 312 DAYS TO COME

Called Steve Brodie (see 2/18) to check about the "Intell-
ect Games" he is sending me. In the next few days he will
get CABBIE, STOCKBROKER and either FRENCH CHATTER or
SPANISH CHATTER to me. THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE wouldn't be
ready for several months. He was going to send me other items
but I said that they were out of my line. We left it that he would
contact me about having someone drop them off here on their way home
on Hutchinson Pkway.

Rcd. the letter from Graeme Levin (see 2/21). It asked me to
send 2 copies of AGOG to [bracket drawn] Tony Mills
[bracket drawn] Thomas Nelson & Sons, Ltd.
[bracket drawn] 36 Park St.
[bracket drawn] London W1Y 4DE
1 airmail and 1 surface.
He asked about sales in Canda Canada.
He said that ESCAPE FROM COLDITZ CASTLE is not the same
as by Invicta as the one by Parker of England.
He is sending me CONFRONTATION and THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE,
both of which were developed by G&P.

In bed thinking of games that I can develop for the various
possible manufacturers - not new ideas but those that I have
put aside. DATA possibly under the name BINARY BINGO and
using 6 holes to get 64 numbers. TANGRAMS, possibly under the
name TRANGAME. Also how about TAM-BIT, probably with new name.
