Called Felicia to tell her. To Dollar Savings to deposit 3M
check and get one for Felicia. Mailed it.

Wrote to Carol Peterson and to the ACQUIRE fan (see 5/10).
Sent each the ACQUIRE article from G&P - which I reproduced at
Boston Post Road.

In my talk with Felicia - she had a letter from Schaper saying
that they didn't think they could give SPACE the proper distri-
bution. They also said it came with a tower broken off and
hoped that it reached us with no further damage. She was at

relationships between the faces. Whe Players may not move
the same dial the opponent moved. I believe that the dial is
moved one to any desired picture - with 16 being on each dial (how arranged?).

two play - and game ends when one loses them. (fairly complete rules.)
- Stancraft. Mary Hilt not there. They would not give me a copy of
SUPER CRIBBAGE.
- Classic Games. Took 2 catalogs. CHESS, CHESS 3, and two
new puzzles - BACK IN THE BOX and MAGNA/TEASE PUZZLE.
- Whitehall Games. (This is the company that Felicia saw at the
Premium Show.) They are p&p games, or similar rub-off games, or
large wall-hanging rub-offs. Some of them: WORDABLE, played
similar to LAST WORD on an 8x8 field. Score one point for each
letter in each word formed. GHOUL (small version), SMORGASWORD-
GHOST played on a crossword field. SPIDERWEB - a field of dots,
and more can be added at start of game. Last to draw a line between
two dots wins. ALPHABETTE - use up letters printed on a sheet by forming
words of 4 or more. Each has a sheet and first to complete wins.
(I asked and was told that all the sheets were the same). CROSSOGRAM-
WORD SQUARES with a 7x7 field with same spaces blocked in. The center
