7/10 7/7 7/6 11 THURSDAY - JULY 1974 192ND DAY - 173 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. letter from Haar Hoolim. Mentioned ON GUARD, STACK-UP, ARMOR, TOWER OF HANOI, CROSSOVER PUZZLE, JOINING. Enclosed another set of rules for ON GUARD.

Call from Wald. He would like to get together to play his Cartel GAME - he needs help on it. Set tentative date for Tuesday at 3:30 at S.P.I.

He and Claude (probably are supposed to go to see Jules Cooper tomorrow at Ideal (altho Claude may not be up to going). Wald wants to try and get an assignment from Ideal similar to the Hasbro, but for $10,000. I told him that I had my doubts, but I'd be interested in the results. Wald was pleased that Cooper remembered him. Wald was interested in getting the names of other people to see at game companies - even if it meant his traveling to other cities. I told him that this is Felicia's stock in trade and that I couldn't just give it out. He said he can find out, and I'd just be saving him time. I didn't answer.

Call from Felicia. She had a long talk with Bob Johnson and he sounded more optimistic about the game program at Hallmark. He likes the new man in charge, Jack Jonathon. Jonathon will be in charge of overall policy - how deep a coverage, etc. - but Johnson will pick the games.

I asked and Felicia said that Johnson is still crazy about FOCUS. He also is crazy about TOTTER.

Felicia asked him if there will be any royalties on FITTING AND PROPER, etc, There may be a little, altho they have warehouses full of the games.

I told Felicia that altho I have no desire to be at the any business sessions with Johnson & Jonathon, I do want to talk to Bob about the refinements I had have for RED LETTER, and the questions he had for me about PE-LING and possibly some other. She'll keep it in mind.

SKYSCRAPERS is back from 3M - probably both models but Felicia didn't open it yet.

Felicia was at Brentano's and spoke to the new buyer, Irving Kossoff. She likes him. Kenny - she didn't remember his second name - has Dorothy Shapiro's old job and she finds that he is very knowledgeable about games. He knows and likes mine.

They have been out of ACQUIRE and SLEUTH for the last three months. 3M insulted them by refusing to ship on order until an $87.00 bill was paid. Also Brentano's wanted to exchange some copies of OH-WAN-REE (which never sold) for other games and 3M refused. The 3M salesman has apologized and things will probably be patched up. Felicia wrote to Keith Tuggle complaining about the whole thing,

BALI is selling well at Brentano's. But the hottest item
