Cold War Letters / mimeograph Place Published: Privately printed at The Abbey of Gethsemani (Trappist, Kentucky)
Notes
Original mimeograph in textured yellow card covers and bound in plastic comb binding. Although Merton was forbidden from publishing on the subject of war and peace, he did use the Abbey of Gethsemanis' mimeograph machine to write his views and circulate them among friends and acquaintances. This is one such mimeograph - less than 100 (probably around 85) were printed and distributed. This item is a part of a group of over 30 original 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.

Notes
Newsprint broadside. Pax was a "magazine" of poetry and art in which the work was the free contribution of the artists themselves "as their way of working toward an appreciation of the ideal of an enduring peace: the work of justice, the fruit of love". Pax was edited and published by Robert Lax (close friend to Merton) from the offices of Jubilee magazine starting in the mid-1950’s to the early 1960’s and was revived for a few minor issues in the 1980’s. This item is part of a portfolio in this collection of Pax items that contains the following:
