FRIDAY 3 DECEMBER 1971
St. Francis Xavier
337th day - 28 days to come

Rcd. a letter from Lester Gendron asking whether I would
rewrite the rules for LAWSUIT and, if so, what would be my
price.

Rcd., from Simulations Publ. Inc., a request for the SLEUTH logical
steps, with a stamped envelope.

Rcd. the SOMA ADDICT - Vol. 2, No. 1.

Rcd. a call from Kenneth Heuer, science editor of Charles
Scribner's Sons Publishers. He called me after calling
Martin Gardner. He wanted Martin to read it but
Martin suggested me and gave him my qualifications. I
told him that there might be a conflict of interest because
of AGOG. He said that Martin had told him about it, and
their book is much more general in scope.
The fee for reading the book is $100. If they want me
to do any further work we will negotiate the payment. I agreed
and he'll send the manuscript to me.

I called Martin to thank him. Heuer had just called him today.
He said that he only rcd. 6 copies of his new book.
