The one copy of a note in this file is a reproduction of an orignal note by Merton to Terrell Dickey. The original is held by Terrell Dickey, III, the grandson of the artist with whom Merton corresponded. Gordon Oyer provided background material in the file.
Terrell Dickey was a commercial artist from Louisville, Kentucky. The Abbey of Gethsemani hired Dickey to assist with the layout of books and pamphlets produced by the monastery on Gethsemani and the Trappist life. Merton first records in his journal a meeting with Dickey about a postulant's pamphlet on September 10, 1957. He also consults with Dickey about Merton's proposed book on art, Art and Worship, which was not published.
