SATURDAY 29 AUGUST 1970 241st day - 124 days to come

Brought a copy of FOCUS to office for "Al," to give to his nephew. (Earlier in week Al brought back the copy of AGOG he gave to his nephew for me to autograph.)

Took the 26 storage boxes back from the office. Had to make two trips, giving the porter $1 to watch them while I made the first trip.

Gave "Walt Adamski" and "Al Costeles" the two copies of SNAFU "Renwal" gave me Thursday.

Looked at the rules of my games preparatory to demonstrating them at "Hallmark" Gallery. Did some fixing of the typos in the COMBINATION column, tho BB did most of this. Put red checks next to my games on the "3M," "Stancraft," and "Renwal" brochures, some of them that is.

Rcd. Sept. PANZERFAUST. Had a complete game by Chris Johnson - POLTAWA.

In looking at the rules for VENTURE saw that in the new Gamette version they have eliminated scoring for cards remaining in hand at end. The new rule-score the same as for a profit card at the end.

BB bought me four boxes of polished stones in a Japanese import store - 2 of large stones & 2 of small.

(cont. from 8/30) [9/1]

Rcd. the Sept.-Oct. 1970 IDEAS NEWSLETTER.

Rcd. a card from Mike Abrams. SUCCESSION will be out in March 1971, put out by Dr. R. Garry Shirts of "Similie II." He is also trying to get it, put out by "ABALGA" in Sweden. He sees "Nothing but positive Reviews on your book (AGOG).

Sent a letter to Jim Kraus with my ideas on the rare stone theme. Also suggesting SOLUTION or SLEUTH as names to replace SEARCH.

When I spoke to Bob Edwards he didn't say anything about my coming to Kansas City, so I didn't either. (This happened, or rather didn't happen, yesterday.) [started 9/1]
