79TH DAY - 286 DAYS TO COME

AGOG to press this month in order to be ready for x'mas.
They need the signed contract.

Rcd. a letter from Kathy Brooks concerning BAZAAR, SLEUTH.
Mentioned that they rcd. FOREIGN INTRIGUE.
Rcd. a letter from Roger Verhulst. The editor of the (N.Y.) NEWS
is interested in an article on games that people play at tournament
levels. Roger asked if I had any ideas other than MONOPOLY,
SCRABBLE, BRIDGE, CHESS, and DIPLOMACY. He also would like to
try and interest the editor in an article on me.
He sent me his 2/15/74 column covering ZODIAC STAR CHESS and
CHESS DICE. He is no longer writing weekly columns for the
CHICAGO TRIBUNE, altho he may occasionally do round-ups. He
will also do occasional things for the GRAND RAPIDS PRESS.
He enclosed a small (and incorrect) piece on MONOPOLY from
that paper.
He may be in New York next month.

Rcd. the 1099 form with a repro, from Hallmark. It was mis-
addressed to 1267 Arrow Ave., and it was mailed to me from there.
The amount listed was $375.00 more than I had in my records,
spent day looking thru 1973 diary to see if I could find something
I missed. No. Called Leonard Willett and he suggested writing to
Hallmark. If necessary I can get permission to delay filing.
Wrote to J.F. Empie whose name was on the 1099 form and enclosed the
repro of the form. Sent essentially the same letter to
Julie Clardy (see 2/5) and told each that I was writing to the other.
[actually these letters were written tomorrow and typed Friday.]

(cont. from 3/21) [3/21]

moving. (Very rough idea.)
Earl is anxious to have Claude contact Paul Sullivan (see 2/21).
I said that if we do that Sullivan will have the upper hand
with us.
Earl would like to show ASTRO TRACK to Felicia. I said
that I'd like to play it at least once more before setting it up.
