Wrote to <u>Pierre Berloquin</u> saying I'd keep the time open that
he will be here - and will await his call.
<br>Called <u>Claude</u> to tell him that I couldn't meet him this com-
ing Friday because of Pierre's coming in. Set date for Friday after.
At thrift shops Claude picked up copies of <u>BOTTOMS UP</u>
(Embossing co. - not the board game) and <u>COMPLETION</u> (which I
informed him was by <u>Howard Wexler</u>); he doesn't think that
all the cards are there.
<br>In two different bazaars in Queens bought <u>SET POINT</u> (for $3)
and <u>TELL IT TO THE JUDGE</u> (for $1). The instructions and
"Judge Card" were missing (checked against set I already have).
The box was in poor shape but I fixed it up so that it stays to-
gether.
<br>From <u>TIMES</u> clipped ad for <u>THE CONTRACTING GAME</u>.
<br>Saw ad for Deluxe <u>SCRABBLE</u> on TV.
