Original hand-written letter (#1) by Thomas Merton with envelope Place Published: Douglaston, L.I., NY.
Notes
This is the first of two relatively early original letters from Merton, signed "Tom Merton" to Alfred Hailparn, his co-editor of the 1937 number of THE 1937 COLUMBIAN, the Columbia University yearbook (see "Original hand written letter (#2) by Thomas Merton with envelope" for the other). Intending to get a head start on yearbook production, Merton writes: "First & most important: tell Anne ____ to go to hell. It is too late now as we have signed up with White. I'm sorry you didn't get the card ... I took White's man along & got a number of swell shots around the place. Just wait until you see them! Furthermore I am going to make another trip up there with him & get a lot more: I want plenty of pictures of campus in the book & there are lots of swell old cuts too ... I am working 8 hours a day up at Radio City these days so I have not had much time to scout around myself. However - the time will come. As to engravers - they can wait ....". This letter and the other are accompanied by the 1937 edition of The Columbian yearbook which was edited by Merton and Hailpern (with two others) and prominently features Merton in text, photos and cartoons (approx. 30 appearances in all). See "Original 1937 The Columbian Yearbook" for details.

Notes
This is the second of two relatively early original letters from Merton, signed "Tom", to Alfred Hailparn, his co-editor of the 1937 number of THE 1937 COLUMBIAN, the Columbia University yearbook (see "Original hand written letter (#1) by Thomas Merton with envelope" for the other). This one concerns solicitations of advertisers for the yearbook: "...we are more earnest in getting prospects lined up than hopeful of getting any signatures on the dotted line as yet ... we are each going to work independently on a bunch of prospects that appear good to us ...." He inquires about the possibilities of making connections through Hailparn's father: " ... Far from being a question of advertising out of charity it would show certain advantages -- college men drink a lot of beer! ...". This letter and the other are accompanied by the 1937 edition of The Columbian yearbook which was edited by Merton and Hailpern (with two others) and prominently features Merton in text, photos and cartoons (approx. 30 appearances in all).

This letter accompanies the 2 letters written by Merton to Hailpern regarding the creation of the 1937 Columbian yearbook (see "Original hand-written letter #1 & #2 by Thomas Merton with envelop" and "Original 1937 The Columbian Yearbook" for details). The letter is evidently from someone associated with the previous year's yearbook, making recommendations about procedure, as well as trying to offer advice about certain administrative difficulties Hailparn is having with Thomas Merton.

This letter comes originally from a collection of pieces by Mr. Robert MacGregor (New Directions staff member) to James Laughlin, publisher of New Directions. The envelop is addressed to Mr. George Freimarck and has typed on the back Merton's typed home address scratched out (presumably Merton no longer lived there at the time of sending) as "Tom F. Merton, 50 Rushmore Avenue, Douglaston, L. I., N. Y.". The letter partially reads as follows: "COLUMBIA REVIEW: COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY/ 405 JOHN JAY HALL ROBERT LAX editor ARTHUR ZAMPELLA BARRY ULANOV associates Dear George: ... I have been writing book reviews for the Herald Tribune 'Books', and for the Nation, and also doing free lance cartooning.

Original letter (TLS) signed by Merton Place Published: Trappist, KY
Notes
Single sheet in folding cloth slipcase. To an unidentified "Dear John" [not John H. Griffin], in response to receipt of his poem and other matters. The poem "... has a nice feeling about it, lively, informal, casual but effective. The only criticism I would make is that your rhythm is monotonous. You need to learn how to break it up, vary it, change pace, pick up again and so on. That will come with reading of poetry and more practice. Hope your article got in Jubilee. It is a good idea to write. Don't be surprised if the first few times you don't immediately click, and don't expect all the editors to come a'runnin' right the first day. It takes time." In response to a query about his back, he replies that it is better but he has bursitis in his elbow, and "I hope it will pass off and I will be able to get back to some wood chopping." He mentions sending on a few things, include a Vietnamese translation of Seeds of Contemplation, noting "As to the Bibliography, don't rush. That is an ongoing project I believe!..." Merton closes: "God be with you always, in Christ, Tom Merton." From the collection of the James S. Copley Library, acquired as an element in a large private treaty joint purchase by William Reese Company and James Cummins Booksellers.

Original mimeographed Advent-Christmas letter (1967). One sheet, 2 sided and signed by Merton.

He also speaks of faith as being a lonely virtue, and of love as something that needs to be given as well as received. This item came with a collection of items from David Semon, who corresponded with Merton during the late 1960s. This item came to David Semon directly from Merton.

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.
