The Poorer Means - A meditation on Ways to Unity / mimeograph Place Published: Trappist / The Abbey of Gethsemani Library/Archive: The Abbey of Gethsemani
Notes
First (private) printing of this prosework; subsequently publicly published in the September 1965 issue of "The Cord" (XV:9). This mimeograph represents one of numerous mimeographs acquired from Bob Bonazzi, John Howard Griffin's literary executor - and Griffin's widow's then second husband - a few years after the main Griffin manuscript archive was purchased from them (which is now at Columbia). The mimeos and typescripts from this collection represent a separate transaction from the acquisition of the Griffin archive, as the items had either been sent to R. Bonazzi directly by Merton or his representatives, or perhaps they were duplicated items already in the Griffin archive. (William Reese Company - Rare Books and Manuscripts)
