MONDAY 7 DECEMBER 1970 341st day - 24 days to come

[crossed out] Rcd. a check for $7.50 from S & T.

Finished the pieces, masked a checkerboard, and played LIVE WIRE with BB. Had to make some changes in the initial layout, but it played well. Set the following goals for winning: capture of one of opponent's sources, or bringing one of your sources across the board.

Felicia called. She set up a date tomorrow with Dorothy Shapiro of "Brentanos," at 2. I'll go to her place first and look at some games she has there. After she pushed X they sent an option contract for COUNTER INTELLIGENCE. She said that cleared everything up except TOTALLY and TROMINO GO. I reminder her about WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU? and she'll check on it.

BB typed the letter to Bill Caruson I wrote on 12/5. Also a carbon for Felicia.

(cont. from 12/8) [12/8]

To Parker. Sign on door "No Samples." Asked salesman who to contact in Salem - whether Bill Dohrmann was the one. He said he could make an exception for me and gave me a copy of CROWN RED. Back to Felicia. She gave me the "1970 Advertising Calendar for "3M" Brand Games" to copy and return.
