No extant letters were exchanged between Thomas Merton and George Edwards. Edwards wrote to Gethsemani Abbey (possibly directed to Merton or the abbot) on December 2, 1965. Dom James Fox replied by letter to him after calling George's wife, Jean Edwards.
The Rev. George Edwards was a professor at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in 1965. He had been a consciencious objector during the Second World War, and, together with Jean Edwards, became leaders in the Louisville peace and justice community, organizing for the local chapter of the Fellowship of Reconciliation.
