This is a file in the correspondence of Thomas Merton under the heading: "Schuurmans, Emmanuel, Dom, O.C.S.O.".
In 1958, Br. Emmanuel Schuurmans became Abbot of Maria Toevlucht (Mary's Refuge) in Zundert in the Netherlands. He brought about many reforms to his community and Merton discusses with him permission to live the eremitical life and other changes to the Trappist Order.
