Call from <u>Felicia</u>. She wondered if $62.50 was correct for her  <br>
check for <u>FITTING & PROPER</u>. I told her it was.  <br>
I asked if I should send a disclosure form to 3M for  <br>
<u>FOREIGN INTRIGUE</u> but she said that she had already sent one.


Finished the rules for <u>LAWSUIT</u> and wrote a letter to  <br>
<u>Lester Gendron</u>. BB typed them and they were mailed at  <br>
night.
Sent the check for <u>FITTING & PROPER</u> back to <u>Bob Edwards</u>  <br>

<u>Phil Orbanes</u> called after his lunch with <u>Bob Hallowell</u>. Bob's  <br>
designer has come up with a new concept for packaging  <br>
pencil and paper games, both individually and in sets. I asked when he  <br>
expected the games I was doing (<u>AIR BATTLE</u>, etc.). Phil said that  <br>
the middle of February would be fine.  <br>
Phil will get a check for <u>NINE OF SWORDS</u> next Wednesday when  <br>
they get together again.  <br>
<u>Reiss</u> wants Hallowell to do standards such as <u>CHECKERS</u> and  <br>
<u>CHINESE CHECKERS</u>. Stores have to buy them somewheres.  <br>

Magazine ''<u>GAMES & PUZZLES</u>''. Also a letter asking him to contribute.  <br>

<u>Thomas Tincher</u> of ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>'' concerning my column.
