FRIDAY 23 SEPTEMBER
Ember Day
First Day of Autumn 1966 266th day - 99 days to come
Spent all day at British Museum Library. Looked at
everything I wanted to with the exception of three
books in periodical room. Ordered three photostats
from JEUX DE CARTES par E. Lanes, including LE TRUC
and L'AS QUI COURT. (Later filed in Misc. Card Game folder)
In this book also copied LE KÉBIR.
Copied the material in CORONEL, A CARD GAME FOR FOUR PLAYERS
by Arthur F. Harris. A variation of HEARTS or CHASSE-COEUR.
Also the material from ORIGINAL GAMES BY C.E. AHLGREN. These
are FIFTY FOUR, PLAY OUT, COMARIN, ACELOW, DOUBLE ACELOW,
TRIPLE ACELOW, QUADRUPLE ACELOW, QUINTUPLE ACELOW,
SUPER ACELOW, THE TRIAL.
Many of the books I wanted to see were destroyed in
the German bombing. (The charge slips are filed
in "Library Misc." box.)
The Notes are in notebook. (Later placed in box with
Parker and Bradley Archives.)
