PENCIL GAMES BY SID SACKSON. I pointed out that this would be like a lot of other books of standard p&p games. We'll probably use something like NEW PENCIL GAMES WITH SHAPES AND COLORS.

Letter from Bob Gellman, with a complaint from a buyer on the HOLIDAY rules.

Letter from David Gwyn Watts. Mentioned RAILWAY RIVALS, AGOG, the OIL GAME (which is on its way), EUROPA, G&P, PENINSULAR WAR, OIL DISTRIBUTORS BRITISH ISLES: Sent me coloring instructions for RAILWAY RIVALS (IE) He'd like me to act as his agent in the U.S.

Call from Claude. Wald and Marty saw the Hasbro people (who?) today. There is a shakeup at the top, but they are interested in some new games. They are talking royalties now - but only 2%.

On 23rd St. bought another German - English dictionary for $2.75. [Started 2/5]
