Played 5-hand RED LETTER at the Laurence's - including Eliot.
They are not word-game fans, but it played o.k.

I called Dana and he came to the hotel and drove us to Kennedy.
Altho their flight was at 7 they had to be there by
4 to send a valise by air cargo. It was mainly the books
that Pierre bought. (He bought more on Cape Cod and in 
New Bedford - where there was a very large store.) The weight
was 40 lbs. and it cost $1.73 a lb. If they had checked in with
overweight, the charge is about $5.00 a lb. left them at the
main terminal, after they checked in at Air France, at
about 4:45.

Because of the traffic Dana and I went to May's in the 
5-towns area. At "Play World" there I saw TILT by Lakeside,
which looked moderately interesting. A woman was looking
for games for presents and for herself. RISK was one that
was requested and I confirmed it to be good. At my suggestion
she bought two TRIPPPLES and JOTTO.

A few calls with Claude. He went to Kennedy and saw 
Pierre and Annie for about 20 minutes when they came
back to Air France. Pierre bought some more puzzle books.

Carl Eisenberg called while I was out and I called back. 
The people for whom he is working will be in town tomor-
