Dear Rick,

As promised, you will find enclosed 25 verbal analogies for publication in Noesis (if you feel they are of sufficient difficulty!).
Obviously, don't publish them when Dr. Hoeflin has any of his trial tests (ULTRA) in the newsletter. Best Wishes, Pete [P.A.--Arthur (by the way) after my late father]--Pomfrit

Send answers and two dollars (cash) to cover expenses to:

There is no time limit. I will send all participants a copy of my "PAP" test. (Published in "Gift of Fire" some years ago).
