On envelope mentioned <u>PROGRESS</u>.
<br>Rcd. [received] <u>CITADEL</u> (P. '40 [Parker Brothers 1940]) from <u>Steve Wilson</u>.
<br>Wrote to <u>Graeme Levin</u> with dates of "Toy Fairs" and stationery
show."
<br>Mentioned <u>AGOG</u>; <u>ORGANISMS</u>; two of the <u>SLY</u> games - <u>EMPIRE</u> and
<u>GATEWAY</u> (but not by name).
<br>In connection with my writing for <u>G&P</u>, enclosed <u>COMBINATION</u> and

<br>Asked for <u>PAGODA</u>, <u>MASCO</u>, <u>XERXES</u>, <u>NORTH SEA OIL</u>, "Lazy Day"

<br>Sent "small packet" with <u>THE FAST CARRIERS</u>, <u>GLOBAL WAR</u>, and
<u>AUSTERLITZ</u> to <u>Walter Luc Haas</u>.
Sent <u>THE 6 PACK ---</u> to <u>Steve Wilson</u>.
<br>Call from <u>Carl Eisenberg</u>. Asked if I knew what company was
putting out the inexpensive (about $18) version of <u>PETROPOLIS</u>. No.
<br>Thinking of some variations for <u>WORD RACE</u> or <u>HURDLES</u>. Allow
the players in setting "hurdles" to put them on either side
of the marked spaces, if desired. Use a different color to make
it stand out. Another: allow the player using the track to
fill in 1, 2, or 3 letters between each hurdle.
Decided to use the track as it now is - with 69 spaces. I will
allow spaces for only 21 hurdles - using 63 spaces. At the
start of the track two of the spaces will be used for the
player's names. The remaining 4 spaces will be for <s>the</s> a
"run-over" at the end.
