| |
| | 1962/02/no? | transcript | from Merton | Naturally your letter was very gratifying. I am sorry I have delayed in making a reply, but as you | Yes |

| | 1962/03/22 | TLS | to Merton | Even at the cost of overdoing my appreciation, I would like to express by this greeting my very real | |
| |
| | 1962/03/no? | transcript | from Merton | I appreciate whatyou [sic] mean about the series "Quaestiones Disputatae". The few articles I have | Yes |
| [Cold War Letters #60 - copy from bound set] |
| | 1962/04/12 | TLS | to Merton | Thankyou [sic] for the mimeo copies of your articles. I had just read the Batchelder book before | |
| |
| | 1962/04/16 | TLS | to Merton | I just read the exchange in the Commonweal re your bomb article. It is more and more apparent | |
| |
| | 1962/05/28 | TALS | from Merton | Your article looked fine in print and I enjoyed that whole issue. I was happy to have been to some | |
| |
| | 1962/05/no? | transcript | from Merton | Thanks for your good letter of last month and for the article. I liked the latter a lot and thought | Yes |
| [Cold War Letters #70 - copy from bound set] |
| | 1962/07/19 | TLS | to Merton | I hope your mailing list hasn't been fouled up, as I didn't receive a copy of your disarmament book. | |
| |
| | 1962/07/30 | TLS[x] | from Merton | The purpose of this letter is to bring up the subject of the English course, on tape, which you said | |
| |
| | 1962/08/07 | TLS | to Merton | I am having copies of the better tapes made, and will send them on as soon as possible. | |
| |
| | 1962/09/17 | TLS | to Merton | This is good news which more than compensates for the bad word from NY that H&H has | |
| |
| | 1962/09/27 | TLS | to Merton | Thanks for the Breakthrough book; it is a very good collection, and I will order some extra | |
| |
| | 1962/10/15 | TLS | to Merton | I received the Introduction; it's great; a fit prelude to Delp. I will send two copies on for | |
| |
| | 1962/10/18 | TL[c] | from Merton | Here is the book: all ship-shape, I hope. I have added more than I first planned, and I think this | |
| |
| | 1962/11/16 | TAL[c] | from Merton | First, unfinished business. I did not yet thank you for the Stalingrad letters. They are very | |
| |
| | 1962/11/20 | TLS | to Merton | I did not want to write until I had some word re the contract. The Abbot's letter was very gentle, | |
| |
| | 1962/11/24 | TAL[c] | from Merton | Evidently the FOR thinks you are a Supreme Court Justice. I think the explanation is that one | |
| |
| | 1962/12/18 | TL[c] | from Merton | This contract is turning into quite a picnic, I see. Father Abbot has passed the latest version on | |
| |
| | 1962/12/20 | TLS | to Merton | Concerning the contract, by all means strike out no. 14, and as for the people in no. 16, they can | |
| |
| | 1962/12/29 | TAL[c] | from Merton | Thanks very much for the wire and letter, fixing up the contract, as I said in my letter the other | |
| |
| | 1963/02/07 | TAL[c] | from Merton | Copies of the book have arrived and I find them very handsome. Thanks very much. | |
| |
| | 1963/05/27 | TL[c] | from Merton | Here is a little piece which I first thought might be a letter to the editors of the Commonweal, | |
| |
| | 1963/06/24 | TLS | to Merton | The summer issue is finally all at the printer. I sent you a couple of photocopies, mainly with | |
| |
| | 1963/07/01 | TALS | to Merton | Here is a pile of things you may use. I don't know what order they are in. The tape is of the Delp | |
| |
| | 1963/07/06 | TL[c] | from Merton | Thanks for your good letter and all the material, which arrived this morning. Everything is most | |
| |
| | 1963/08/11 | TAL[c] | from Merton | Thanks for the new tape, which I have not yet played. But I did get to the other one, the Delp | |
| |
| | 1963/09/25 | TLS | to Merton | I tried to call your agent yesterday and couldn't get her, so I have decided to skip the liturgy | |
| |
| | 1963/11/01 | TAL[c] | from Merton | Thanks for Hocchuth []. I had read your bit on it, which sounded fair and | |
| Merton's review of Rolf Hochhuth's The Deputy (Der stellvertreter), "The Trial of Pope Pius XII" |
| | 1963/11/05 | TLS | to Merton | The NY people are sending you the wrong books; Seasoltz and Westow are both pretty mediocre, | |
| |
| | 1963/12/16 | TAL[c] | from Merton | Here is the Journal material. I have an over all title, "Truth and Violence"[.] It ought to do. | |
| |
| | 1964/02/20 | TLS | to Merton | Enclosed is a pretty good issue of Minority of One you may not have seen. I imagine W. H. Ferry | |
| |
| | 1964/02/25 | TAL[c] | from Merton | It was good to get your letter and the copy of "Minority of One" which I had not seen. | |
| |
| | 1964/02/no? | TPCS | to Merton | We had a fire here during the holidays that dislocated things for the past couple of weeks; | |
| |
| | 1964/03/17 | TLS | to Merton | Father Bernard Collins of Holy Cross Abbey has written me about the Monastic Studies series | |
| |
| | 1964/03/30 | TAL[c] | from Merton | Yes, the latest issues arrived and I am grateful. Since you mention it, I could use three or four | |
| |
| | 1964/04/17 | TALS | to Merton | Here is the copy of the reflections you sent; I have made some comments here and there, but I don't | |
| |
| | 1964/05/11 | TLS | to Merton | The gals were disappointed, but they will recover Okly. Concerning the reflections on violence, | |
| |
| | 1964/05/22 | TAL[c] | from Merton | Here is your piece on non-violence etc, deliberately selective and scattered. I have not included | |
| |
| | 1964/05/no? | TNS | to Merton | This has been on my desk for a couple of weeks; I noticed a very critical review somewhere | |
| |
| | 1964/08/11 | TAL[c] | from Merton | First, thanks for sending the Teaching of Contempt. To begin with I am afraid I will not have time | |
| |
| | 1964/08/no? | TNS | to Merton | Things have been hectic as usual. You should have received the copies of the summer issue by now. | |
| |
| | 1964/10/17 | TAL[c] | from Merton | Thanks for all the new books. Yes, I especially liked Peterson on the Angels and Liturgy. | |
| |
| | 1964/11/17 | TAL[c] | from Merton | Here is the Zen article. I have completely rewritten it and you will see that I have brought | |
| |
| | 1964/11/no? | TLS | to Merton | Hope your back is not too much trouble. Minor problems on the bomb book have developed which | |
| |
| | 1964/12/01 | TLS | to Merton | The Flannery O'Connor piece in Jubilee was very good, and (naturally) set me to wondering if you | |
| |
| | 1964/12/07 | TL[c] | from Merton | Thanks for the good letter. I will try that article, or hope to. The material is in my mind | |
| |
| | 1964/12/28 | TLS | to Merton | This will require no reply. I hope you can do the poetry-prayer piece. I hadn't seen the Ramparts | |
| |
| | 1965/01/17 | TL[c] | from Merton | I am very happy that you saw fit to dedicate to me, together with Archbishop Roberts, your book | |
| |
| | 1965/02/09 | TLS | to Merton | Here is the Christianity and Race article. It is too long for a chronicle piece, so we couldn't | |
| |
| | 1965/04/14 | TLS | to Merton | I don't know if you see this magazine, but I thought you might be interested in the S. American | |
| |
| | 1965/04/18 | TL[c] | from Merton | Thanks for the Motive. I was interested to see some Nicanor Parra translated including one | |
| |
| | 1965/05/12 | TL[c] | from Merton | That batch of letters in the Commonweal rather annoyed me. Certainly they did not really see what | |
| |
| | 1965/06/no? | TLS | to Merton | I am sorry I have to return the article; there is no way I can squeeze it into the next issue on | |
| |
| | 1965/07/06 | TLS | to Merton | A short note which I hope won't interrupt things in the hermitage. We are quite committed to doing | |
| |
| | 1965/07/10 | TL[c] | from Merton | If I do write anything for the Regamey book it will have to be awfully short, because I have a whole | |
| |
| | 1965/09/24 | TLS | to Merton | Could I ask a large favor? On the spur of the moment I decided last week to apply for a Guggenheim: | |
| |
| | 1965/11/18 | TLS[x] | to Merton | No need to read the book; you have probably heard it all before, and most of it appeared | |
| [copy found in file kept by Dom James Fox, see "Fox, James" file in Series titled, "Publishers Correspondence: Herder and Herder"] thoughts on his book with references to Milton [likely <i>The Christian Image: Studies in Religious Art and Poetry</i>] / respect for James Forest, Philip and Daniel Berrigan, and individual Catholic Workers, but collective criticism of the Catholic Peace Fellowship and their thoughts on Vietnam - articles for <u>Continuum</u> |
| | 1965/12/24 | TL[c] | from Merton | I have been a bad correspondent, and am just trying to catch up. This will therefore have to be | |
| |
| | 1966/02/18 | TL[c] | from Merton | I think you asked me about this ms, as a possibility for material for Continuum. I am sending | |
| |
| | 1966/03/03 | TLS | to Merton | Sorry about the delay in writing; the ms. came safely, and I looked through it very fast last week | |
| |
| | 1966/03/08 | TL[c] | from Merton | Please don't mind if I use up this red ribbon. Glad you can use a bit of the Church-world ms | |
| |
| | 1966/06/09 | TLS | to Merton | I should have written you on this sooner, but the baby takes more time that [sic] I would have | |
| |
| | 1966/07/25 | TL[c] | from Merton | As far as I am concerned the Spring <u>Continuum</u> is the best yet: the most interesting | |
| |
| | 1966/08/18 | TL[c] | from Merton | Thanks for passing my letter along to Rosemary Ruether. She wrote to me. I will read her book, | |
| |
| | 1966/10/04 | TL[c] | from Merton | First of all I want to thank you for the Archbishop Roberts volume which has arrived. I am very | |
| |
| | 1966/10/17 | TLS | to Merton | Sorry to be so late in replying about the Camus piece. There is really no way we can use it in any | |
| |
| | 1966/10/no? | HNS | to Merton | By all means send the piece on Albert. It's too late for the fall issue so anytime before January | |
| |
| | 1966/11/08 | TPCS | to Merton | Can use the Dario piece in the next issue, fall. If you have any other short pieces, for Chronicles | |
| |
| | 1966/12/no? | TPCS | to Merton | Just back from California; the chronicle piece is fine, and will appear in the next issue; anything | |
| |
| | 1967/01/17 | TL[c] | from Merton | Yes, I did like your last issue, the hard hitting one on anti-semitism. I thought it one | |
| |
| | 1967/01/25 | TLS | to Merton | Thanks much for the kind words about the last Continuum; it peeved Gregory Baum, but otherwise | |
| |
| | 1967/01/27 | TL[c] | from Merton | I have got someone looking into the question of what happened to the letter about and ms of Isaac | |
| |
| | 1967/04/03 (#01) | TL[c] | from Merton | I have owed you a letter for a long time: but since my last writing I have been in the hospital | |
| |
| | 1967/04/03 (#02) | TL[c] | from Merton | As a post script: I had finished my letter and even sealed it when I got busy on some texts | |
| |
| | 1967/04/28 | TLS | from Merton | Do you have anything planned for our next issue? I'd like to continue the short pieces on the poets | |
| |
| | 1967/05/17 | TL[c] | from Merton | I don't know if this bit on Malcolm X will be of any use to you. I am sending it along, anyhow. | |
| |
| | 1967/09/29 | TLS | to Merton | I'm trying to get some copies of the poetry of David Jones off to you, but the books are a little | |
| |
| | 1967/10/31 | TL[c] | from Merton | I already have Sophrony. Don't worry about "Unseen Warfare". One other book turns up however. | |
| |
| | 1967/11/14 | telegram | to Merton | JUBLIEE [sic] WILL HONOR MARITAIN WITH EXTRACT FROM BEST OF PAST WRITINGS. WILL USE | |
| [asking Merton to write 1,000 words on Maritain and photograph of Merton and Maritain for the cover of a book - Merton writes in pen "No. Nov 16"] |
| | 1967/no/no | TPCS | to Merton | More or less desperately, I could use a chronicle or two if you could happen to turn one up. | |
| |
| | 1968/04/23 | TLS | to Merton | Thanks much for the copy of <u>Monks Pond</u>. I don't see how you get time to do all this, but I | |
| |
| | 1968/05/05 | TL[c] | from Merton | Sorry I have delayed over your letter of April 23rd. The usual problem-- too much mail and no help | |
| |
| | undated/no/no | TLS | to Merton | A request I forgot in my earlier note. Herder international is preparing some kind of immense xmas | |
