MONDAY 10 AUGUST St. Lawrence 1970 222nd day - 143 days to come

Selma Shapiro, Diane Jaust's boss at "Random House," called. Diane will be back from vacation next Monday and Selma will have her call me on Monday or Tuesday. Diane will get me the copies of AGOG for the exhibition, also will work out some kind of a flyer - possibly I'll go there to discuss it.

Called "Renwal" & spoke to John Donahue. He'll have copies of TAM-BIT & TAKE FIVE, and 1000 brochures for me to pick up next Wednesday. The $2 games are not moving at all. ULCERS, RAT RACE, and BATTLE OF BRITAIN are beginning to move a little. I asked about GAME OF THE MONTH CLUB (N.J.), and he said that they had some interest in BATTLE OF BRITAIN.

Mailman left a notice that the "Hamley's" package was at the P.O., with money due for postage and for duty.

The SEARCH contract came. They will send me $250 as a closing fee. Called Felicia and arranged to go there tomorrow to sign.

Wrote to Tom Mason of "Western Publishing" about the Hall- mark exhibit, and what to do about FOCUS. Told him I was sending AGOG and packed a copy in a jiffy bag.

Rcd. clippings from Jane Jordan, including NEWSDAY.

Dale and Phil went to Post Office for me. Mailed the copy of AGOG to Tom Mason. Picked up the package from "Hamleys" with AMOEBA, SHERLOCK HOLMES, FLAGSTONES, TACKLE, & ZODIAC. Charges were about $2. Sent a postal letter to Hamleys saying that the package came.

Short letter from Henry Lamb promising a longer one soon.

Rcd. the two signed EXECUTIVE DECISION contracts from Keith Tuggle, with a short, rather formal note.
