Most letters regard Br. Simeon's duties as secretary to Dom James Fox and many regard communication with Merton's French translator, Marie Tadié.
Br. Simeon Malone was a lay brother at Gethsemani Abbey. He was originally from Wichita, Kansas, and entered Gethsemani in 1957. Br. Simeon was a secretary to Dom James Fox at Gethsemani Abbey in the 1960's.
