Title
The Monk in the Diaspora / mimeograph Place Published: Privately printed at Gethsemani (Trappist, Kentucky)
Notes
Mimeograph; text on recto and verso with rubber stamp on front cover "Not For Publication". This item got strong reaction as Merton noted when he referred to in "A Vow of Conversation" (page 70) in which he wrote, "My article "The Monk in the Diaspora" is making more noise and perhaps raising more trouble than I anticipated"; and also on page 73, "...I also had to change "The Monk in the Diaspora" for the French translation. The Abbot does not like it"; and on page 78, "All this started with the article "The MOnk in the Diaspora" which turns out to have been a kind of time bomb". A version of this manuscript was also published in Seeds of Destruction as "The Christian in the Diaspora". This mimeograph is part of a larger set of mimeographs that was obtained from the convent of Saint Helena at Vails Gate, New York. One of the sister's there had met with Merton with a few others while she resided at a sister house at Versailles, Kentucky (this meeting was noted in "The School of Charity" on page 198 and in "Dancing in the Waters of Life - Journal #5" on page 40). From that meeting the convent was put on Merton's mailing list and received numerous mimeographs in the 1960s - some of which are housed in this collection. Some of the publication information of these mimeographs was obtained with the kind participation of Patricia Burton, noted Merton bibliographer.

Title
Monastic Vocation and the Background of Modern Secular Thought / mimeograph Place Published: Privately printed at Gethsemani (Trappist, Kentucky)
Notes
Mimeograph; text on recto and verso (see also a 2nd copy of this mimeograph in this collection where text is on recto only - both original documents). This item is roughly written at times, often in point form and appears to be a typed copy of Merton's notes for a discussion. Later became "Vocation and Modern Thought" in "Contemplation in a World of Action". This mimeograph is part of a larger set of mimeographs that was obtained from the convent of Saint Helena at Vails Gate, New York. One of the sister's there had met with Merton with a few others while she resided at a sister house at Versailles, Kentucky (this meeting was noted in "The School of Charity" on page 198 and in "Dancing in the Waters of Life - Journal #5" on page 40).
