A wonderful photographic portrait of Merton (taken by Williams) can be found in William's book "Portrait Photographs". Another nice association is that Turkey Press also published a book of Jonathan Williams. (Captain's Bookshelf)

Merton took the name Father Louis on entering the Abbey of Gethsemani. OCLC/Worldcat locates only two confirmed copies, none signed. According to a note by Carolyn Reading Hammer, wife of Victor Hammer, 54 copies were printed - of which Merton received 50 copies and Hammer retained four (info retrieved from Worldcat). This item is not listed in Dell'Isola, but is item 2.836 in Breit and Daggy and is listed in the title finder of Burton's bibliography. The only other place where it has been published is in Convivium 2 in Italian as "Preghiera al sacro cuore". An exceptionally uncommon Merton item.
