Before approaching Merton for submissions to his magazine, Robert Bonazzi had met two of Merton's friends, Mark Van Doren and John Howard Griffin. Griffin gave Bonazzi a poem about Robert Lax that he wanted to publish. The letters primarily concern publication matters. Among what was published were essays, poems, photographs and drawings (referred to as "signatures") by Merton. Also mentioned is the founding of Merton's own "little magazine" <u>Monks Pond</u>.

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.

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.

Quotation: "Truthfully I have an enormous obscure subtle thesis that Blake is all full of Indian and Chinese theories of art, for a certainty. That he has read the Bhagavad Gita, I have found out, and then found out that others know this well. But they have not gone into this as I intend, and they say nothing of his art anyway, only explain he was tussling with the druids every word he wrote. But I do not up and be a loud roaring fellow and a stupid shit saying how Blake picked up some old Chinese book and writ down all his theories of art and poetry. I say how he knew about the Indian works from books of travel, how he read the Gita, how he was anyhow a fine mystic, how he read strange histories about the east all full of half modern ideas about how one race influences another through means of etymology, and the Greeks weren't so smart as to be all holy and full of truth of their own for that they swiped everything from India and Egypt the book states clearly. This Blake read. Anyhow he hated Plato"...

This set of correspondence contains nine letters between two like-minded poets and authors. In his correspondence with Berry, one can see seeds of Merton's interest in the environment.

This exchange of letters, two from Merton and two from John Beecher, gives an account of the opposition that authors on civil rights, non-violence, and social reforms faced in the 1960's from within the Church and in secular society. Beecher struggled with the Jesuit administration of Santa Clara University around the time Merton's work on nuclear war was banned, while both speak with a positive voice about the future of the Church.
