SUNDAY 25 JANUARY Septuagesima--Conversion of St. Paul (Transferred to Jan. 26) 1970 25th day - 340 days to come

Wrote letters to F. Daniel, Paul Greenough, NAMO (SENSITIVITY, ODD PIECES, etc.)

They prob- ably won't have a chance to get to it for a few months but the sooner it gets there the sooner it will be on their waiting list. I brought up the matter of the copies of MONAD and VENTURE that Bill had promised. They will send them, also copies of SUM-UP and OCTRIX and (I think) TRYCE since there have been changes in the rules.

Called Tom Atwater's hotel room and got Alex. Tom is sick at Con- cord. Alex hung up abruptly as he was expecting a visitor.

Saw Al Samuels at Aco. They had partially completed samples of two new games:- CHARGE an abstract war game - he said he'd send me it when it was ready. (cont. on 1/24)
