Call from Felicia. She read me the letter from Bob Johnson and it wasn't quite as promising as she had led me to believe. All it said was <u>PE-LING</u>, <u>ANOTHER</u>, <u>DIGIT</u>, <u>TRIAGO</u>, <u>INDIAN CHESS</u>, and <u>TOTTER</u> (He said <u>TROTTER</u>) are active in the game play. She can tell this is her restless game inventors. *Also MAKE A PUZZLE GAME. <u>CUBITS</u> will be introduced in 6-1-73 together with <u>FITTING & PROPER</u>. Rappaports tells her that the game business stinks. 3M is not giving them service. They still don't have a Gamette rack. She asked me to return the rules for <u>SIJJEM</u>. A new company is coming in next week to look at games. She'll show them <u>LOTTERY</u>.
