Merton seems to have written some letters to Pope John XXIII concerning the future of contemplative religious orders in the modern world. Cardinal Tardini expresses the pope's gratitude for the suggestions and offers a response.
Domenico Cardinal Tardini was an Italian priest who held high positions in the Roman Catholic Curia during the tenure of Pope Pius XII and was later elevated to cardinal and Secretary of State of the Vatican under Pope John XXIII in 1958.
