There is no extant correspondence between Thomas Merton and Beatrice Lillie. See Sub-Section B.6 for a copy of Bread in the Wilderness signed by Merton and to Beatrice Lillie for the New Year of 1954.
Beatrice Lillie was a Canadian-born, British actress. She achieved fame in Britain after World War I and international stardom after success in the United States in 1924. She was primarily known as a brilliant comedienne, often playing in musical productions. She became Lady Peel after marriage in 1920 to the Honourable Robert Peel of Staffordshire, England. During the time Merton sent her his book, Lillie performed cabarets and benefits while hosting two series on American television. (Source: "Lillie, Beatrice." Biography from Current Biography. 1964.
