Archbishop Noser sent Merton a copy of books in Pidgin English and the book, Road Belong Cargo: A Study of the Cargo Movement in the Southern Madang District, New Guinea, by Peter Lawrence (Humanities Press, New York: 1964). Merton sent Noser a copy of a manuscript on cargo theology.
Archbishop Adolph Alexander Noser was born in Belleville, Illinois. He became a priest of the Society of the Divine Word (Divine Word Missionaries). He was ordained bishop and was sent to Accra, Ghana, in 1950. Merton and Noser began contact in 1968, after Noser was appointed Archbishop of Madang, Papua New Guinea.
