Merton had a close relationship with Nancy Hauck Boettcher's grandmother, who helped raise Merton and his brother. Nancy begins writing Merton when her grandmother, Freida "Nanny" Hauck, was living with Nancy's parents and causing strain on them. Nanny's condition worsens and she dies. Though Nancy was, as was Merton, close with Nanny, she sees Nanny's death as something of a blessing given Nanny's suffering and the hardship endured by her parents in caring for her.

This large collection of letters contains an important discussion between Merton and a Russian Orthodox scholar. Though the discussion of Orthodox religion and its mystical traditions is an important part of the conversation, many other subjects are explored. Bolshakoff traveled to many monasteries, both Catholic and Orthodox, and enters into ecumenical dialogue with Merton. Merton also speaks of the Vietnam War and his opposition to it; however, he must explain to Bolshakoff how he justifies a life of contemplation instead of active resistance.

Fr. Paul Bourne seemed to be in the difficult position of liking Merton and his works, and serving the official function as head censor for the Order, holding responsibility for objectionable works of Merton's going to publication. The two men struggle with what can and cannot be published by Merton on the topics of war, nuclear proliferation, Vietnam, and race relations. They also discuss other matters not related to Fr. Paul's work as a censor, including the monastic life, novitiate manuals, chapter meetings for the Order, changing worship to the vernacular, allowing conversation among monks, etc.

Merton was asked by his friend Rabbi Abraham Heschel, a biblical scholar, in December of 1966 if he was interested in writing an introduction for a new edition of the Bible. The planned book, an annotated and illustrated edition, by Time-Life Books was not published; however, the manuscript for the article was published as a book by the Liturgical Press in 1970 under the essay's title <i>Opening the Bible</i>. Merton had qualms about writing an introduction to the Bible, as he did not consider himself a biblical scholar. Also, in a response to Heschel in 1966/12/12, he mentions that he is "not too happy with big fancy projects organized by the mass media". After his essay was written, he suggested that it was not an adequate introduction, but could fit between the New and Old Testaments. The last couple of letters also mention Merton's literary magazine <u>Monks Pond</u>. Bourne sends him a concrete poem and Merton mentions a plan for an upcoming issue featuring concrete poems exclusively. (Sources: see the enclosed letters and the introduction by Rob Stone to the 1986 edition of <i>Opening the Bible</i>.)

Fr. Charles Bowers writes on behalf of a committee organizing a conference to discuss "rational foreign policies towards Asia in the context of revolution, military and political conflict", etc. to be held in Sydney, Australia. Attendees were to be from diverse professions. Merton must decline because of his travels to the American west coast and to Asia. He also doubts whether his superiors would allow him to attend something of such a political nature.
