This is a file in the correspondence of Thomas Merton under the heading: "Hillman, Elizabeth, Sr., r.c.".
Sr. Elizabeth Hillman was a Cenacle Sister of the Convent of Our Lady of the Retreat in the Cenacle in Lancaster, Massachusetts. She had attended Columbia University but left to serve as a nurse in World War II in 1942 and joined the Cenacle Sisters on her return to the United States after the war. She mentions Ruth Boyer and her husband who were friends of Merton in their youth. She also notes her appreciation for his writing, but an uncertainty about whether either side of the war issue, "the hawks or doves", really have it figured out.
