Rc'd order for FOCUS & letter from William C. Herring ordering 2 FOCUS & 2 SLAM.

To Life Bldg. to see Eugene Newman. He has devised a game called LIFE ELECTION SPECIAL which they want me [do an] evaluation & write letter or report.

To 43rd St. library annex. Working on 1929, 1930, & 1931 copying of numbers & checking of patents in 1925 & 1926.

My copy Reading letter from Haar Hoolim. He mentioned idea of cards similar to following:-

[1] [3] [2] [4] [2] [ ] [1] [ ]

He suggests a game where pcs. are put down and the object is to get higher numbers surrounding the blank space the opponent has. His idea is very rough. My GAME IDEA

My game idea would be to have each player have a set of 12 (abt.) cards with same numbers but different colors. The blank spaces would have different numbers of stars, which would represent their value. After all pcs. have been placed the star values would go to the player with the highest value of numbers next to it orthogonally. Two or more star spaces adjoining orthogonally would work together & all orthogonal surrounding spaces would be counted.
