1. 1967/11/09 TL[c] from Merton Your letter on the current problems of the contemplative life is very much appreciated. I can make need for those used to old values in religious life to continue with these, while allowing others to find new ways / need for being "highly selective" [Merton's emphasis] in what tapes and materials are used «detailed view»
2. 1968/07/08 TLS to Merton I think that was just great about you basing your Easter letter on Fr. John Mahoney's IS CONVENT [Merton sends her his Easter 1968 circular letter to answer question about Fr. John Mahoney's "Is Convent Life Fundamentally Unchristian"] Fr. Kavanaugh and Charles Davis / Merton's "Openness and Cloister", "Renewal and Discipline in the Monastic Life" and "The Council and Monasticism - 1965" / contemplative vs. active vocation «detailed view»
