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.
