This is a file in the correspondence of Thomas Merton under the heading: "Niswonger, Ilse F., Obl.S.B.".
Ilse F. Niswonger was an Oblate of St. Benedict at Regina Laudis Abbey in Bethlehem, Connecticut. She was an artist and offered her services for a statue of the Virgin Mary. This is likely the job that Merton eventually commissioned Jaime Andrade to sculpt.
