Published recordings in this section are cataloged. The reel-to-reel recordings have been digitally remastered as compact disk and as digital files.

In these intramural letters, Merton and, at that time, fellow monk of Gethsemani, Bamberger, exchange thoughts about community life, the admission of new novices, and about each others writing. In some of these letters, Merton expresses problems he has with some of the monks serving as typists who do not agree with his work, and he questions whether the Gethsemani community understands or benefits from some of the Sunday conferences he is giving.
