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.
