MONDAY 22 SEPTEMBER Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement 1969 265th day - 100 days to come

Rcd. letter from Jared Johnson. Is very busy but would like to do some work in STRATEGY & TACTICS.

Rcd. the rest of the material on LENSMAN. Looks like a well worked out game.

Rcd. another advertisement for A GUIDE TO FAIRY CHESS.

Called John Geiger and he called me back. Made date to go there Oct. 11. He is working on a game of METRO MOSAIC which is based on matching colors. It won't be out for a while yet. The 2-hand LOGI-QUAD GAME SYSTEM is doing fairly well. It will be in Brentano's Catalog (which is also a supplement with the New York Times and the Wall St. Journal. He is also making up a special run for Creative Playthings. They suggested some changes and he rewrote the rules. He will send me a copy so I can use it in my write up for S. & T. The 4-hand is not selling so far. He offered to send me a set but I'll pick up when we get together. In the write up I'll simply state that it is available.

Jim Dunnigan called. He thought I was finishing my column this week instead of next week. I told him Jared hadn't rcd. the Aug.-Sept. issue of S. & T. yet and then suggested that I would send him one of mine when I wrote. Told Jim that I rcd. and liked LENSMAN. He would like me to write a review on it, as sort of a favor. We decided to leave it for a later issue when I can devote more space to it. Wrote letters to Al Samuels- about my previous letter on eliminating the dice in TOTALLY - - . Bill Caruson, thanking him again, and sending him the Aug.-Sept. issue of S. & T. Kathy Brooks - givining her permission to keep ANOTHER as long as she needs it. S.W. Golomb - asking how to get a copy of his VARIANTS & GENERALIZATIONS OF TIC-TAC-TOE.
