Rcd. a master thesis from  <br>
{<u>Edward Purcell</u>  <br>
{[Personal address omitted for privacy.]  <br>
It is based on <u>PATTERNS (II)</u>  <br>
and he mentions ''<u>AGOG</u>'' and my name.  <br>
Rcd. letter from <u>Warren Buell</u> that he rcd. <u>HOLIDAY</u>.
Call from <u>Terry Seymour</u> (spelling?), <u>Mickey Mackay</u>'s assistant.  <br>
She was writing a publicity piece on a new <u>CHECKERS</u> packaging.  <br>
She asked if I could recommend a book with some history  <br>
and "romance" connected with a game. Looked at a number of books  <br>
but the only one with much of value was H.J.R. Murray's  <br>
''<u>A HISTORY OF BOARD-GAMES OTHER THAN CHESS</u>''. She'll try to get it  <br>
out of the library. If she can't she'll call me Monday and I'll  <br>
bring it there Tuesday. She said that she would like to see my  <br>
collection and we'll set up a date after Toy Fair.  <br>
<u>Mary Curtis</u> has completed her paper and Mickey told her that  <br>
she could come to M.B. to make repros for Mickey and for me.  <br>


<u>ACQUIRE</u>_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2,763.81 <br>
Sent a copy of ''<u>AGOG</u>'' to <u>Robert E. Horn</u>.
 
To <u>Claude</u>'s. He gave me 30 very small boxes as a birthday present  <br>
and the three children gave me 12 colored tile folders and 13 black  <br>
sheets with plastic overs. I brought <u>PATTON</u> as a present for  <br>
Raymond, who is favorably acquainted with the R.G.I. line.  <br>
Claude gave me a handwritten copy of rules for a Bavarian Card <br>
<u>GAME</u>, which seems to be a minor <u>SKAT</u> variant. (Filed in Soucie folder)  <br>
Played Claude's new attempt at <u>TEN LITTLE INDIANS</u> (see 9/6/72).  <br>
Didn't take the layout of the board. When a player cannot play, the  <br>
player who went before can ask him for a card - same as on  <br>
a question mark (?). The scoring system Claude had was 1 point for  <br>
"killing a suspect", - 15 points for getting the murdered, and - 20 points  <br>
for a wrong guess. Played 6 hand, including Jackie & Richie. It  <br>
was slow moving and BB (I believe) suggested a question each  <br>
(cont. on 1/31)
