July 1975 - Sunday 6
Seventh Sunday After Pentecost - 187th Day - 178 Days to Come

Wrote to Robert Kurek asking for review copies of DOUBLE CROSS, TILT, ROYAL KISMET, GALLOPING GHOST!, FOUR LETTER WORDS. Wrote to James Koplow thanking him for ORGANIZED CRIME.

Wrote to the librarian (see 7/5) about LOGOMACHY.

With Dave & Barbara Horn played ALL FIVES (Barbara & I won). Then played FREE FOR ALL. (Barbara, with some help from me, just beat me out.)

BB typed the rules for THE HARRY LORAYNE MEMORY GAME. I made a spinner and packed it in the box.

(cont. from 7/7) [7/10]

To "Gamut of Games." While Phil Orbanes was on the phone I asked Carl Eisenberg about the Amway deal. It is going O.K. but probably payment won't come until August. He didn't realize that I had done SLY and was getting some of the money. I asked Phil if I could get my name on as inventor. They are preparing the mechanicals here and he said he'd put my name on it - and probably Amway would leave it on. I told Phil that I had a contact in Europe and that I might want to present GATEWAY to them. As long as it looks different there is no problem.
To Summit Office Supply and bought 6 each of the following size clasp evelopes: 6 1/2x9 1/2, 7 1/2x 10 1/2, 8 1/2x11 1/2, 9x12, 86¢ plus 6¢ tax. The gal packed it in a 10x113 11 1/2x14 clasp envelope.

To S&R [Selchow & Righter] and spoke to Lee Tiffany. Told him that I didn't get rules for [illegible words crossed out] SCORING ANAGRAMS. He gave me another copy. Asked for list prices and got the following: DUPLICATE CROSSWORD GAME - $10.00, ESCAPE FROM THE CASBAH - $5.00, SCORING ANAGRAMS - $3.50.
Tiffany told me that he & G&P are almost at an agreement on the matter of SCRABBLE, the difference between the rules in England and the U.S. and the fact that the English people don't mind their game being written up and Tiffany does. G&P will probably do a split run.
Tiffany is still annoyed with G&P over MONOPOLY, ANTI-MONOPOLY.

To S.P.I. Asked Redmund when my next column is due. 8/1 at the 8/1 at the latest. From Redmund two sheets of green circles, and two of yellow circles, and a partial sheet of red - with 10 circles and 1 dirty one.
From Gene in the stockroom got the following. MODERN BATTLES; BLUE & GRAY boxes were out so I took individual folios of SILOH, ANTIETAM, CEMETERY HILL, CHICKAMAUGA. In the letter from John Gollon he mentioned that he is sorry he didn't get copies
