31 Thursday - July 1975
212th day - 153 days to come

Rcd. 5 copies of a publicity release for BEYOND TIC-TAC-TOE, with a letter from Francine Shillet. Rcd. a royalty report from Hallmark for FITTING AND PROPER and THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS - both $0.0. Rcd. a copy letter from "Uneecard Co." saying that I am being sent a review copy of CHECKMATE, and asking for advice in marketing it.
Call from Felicia. She wants to go ahead with the deal she called me about before. I will give (not loan) her $1,500 and she will write to 3M telling them to sent [sic] 85% of the royalties to me and 15% to I-S. Her share of HOLIDAY will also go from 25% to 15%; PATTON and MACARTHUR from 15% to 10%. Also anything I sell myself - including the German deal - will not re- quire any payment to her. Aladdin is not affected. She will put it in writing and would like the money well before 8/10.
Called Claude and spoke to him a little about LOA and Phil Cohen, but still not in complete detail.
2nd call from Felicia. She rcd. some mail with orders that should have gone to "Gamut of Games." They sent a secretary to pick it up and sent her a copy of MYWORD! She asked if it was mine.
Call from Earl Perel. Nothing particularly on games. Arranged to meet at his apt. tomorrow afternoon.
Finished S&T column by writing up FOUR LETTER WORDS, ROYAL KISMET, DUPLICATE CROSSWORD GAME, SCORING ANAGRAMS, THE GREAT AMERICAN AUCTION CARD GAME and CHARGE IT! BB typed it.

didn't mention by name but Phil said he knew about). I'm also to pick up the material he has when I am around.
Call from Annette Thompson of WOMEN'S SPORTS MAG Magazine. She also got my name from Mike Alber. They have a column- run by Greg Hoffman, on "Sedentary Sports" and are inter- ested in photographing some antique games. Told her that I had very few of these. Told her that, in addition to Parker's archives, the Essex Institute has a good collection. She, I believe, was going to suggest that I do some writing for them, but I told her about Gini Scott. She was quite pleased with that. (The mag is based in San Mateo, Cal.)
