Notes
Original mimeograph. Although this item was not written by Merton it came as a part of a group of over 30 original Merton mimeographs and offprints purchased from Merton bookdealer Jeannette Cantrell who received them from monk of Gethsemani Tom Zele. This group of items were obtained by Zele during the 1960s while living alongside Merton at the monastery. It is likely that it was at least selected by Merton, noting the content and that it was a part of a larger group of Merton mimeographs.
