Paul of Holy Ghost Abbey are to be censors for all Trappist and Trappistine literature in the U.S. (proves to be a misunderstanding, see "Fox, James" file) / submitting a sister's poems to be used in Christmas Carols for censorship

HLSto Fox, JamesA hasty note to apologize for having caused something in the nature of a minor catastrophe.  acknowledges that claim of Merton censoring all American Trappist works is not correct and that he is only to censor the poems of a nun of Mother Angela's community at Wrentham / asking leniency in this endeavor
