Rupert Enderle was initially arranging to allow Professor Takashi Ikemoto translate Mystics and Zen Masters into Japanese. In a later letter, he asks Merton some questions about Zen and about some other subjects. Merton writes to briefly address some of the questions on Zen and answers another portion by sending the essay "The Contemplative and the Atheist", which he claims draws upon the work of Leslie Dewart.
Rupert Enderle was owner of the Enderle Bookstore, a Herder Agency, that dealt in publications and the import and export of books. He writes from Tokyo.
