Eingrenzung und Inhalt
First lines: "About the passage in the «New Man» to which you refer: I do not have a copy of the book at"... The letter discusses the meaning of the "sin and mental illness" in Merton's book «The New Man» (specifically, the third paragraph of Section 136). Merton explains that he is not suggesting that "actual sin usually leads to mental illness", but rather that all illness and death stem from the fallen human condition.
