Biographische Angaben
Merton writes to Lillian Marks in response to her criticism of his article "Blessed are the Meek" from the edition of «Fellowship» (published by the Fellowship of Reconciliation) from May of 1967. Merton took an ironic tone in the article. Marks thought that Merton crossed the line and hampered ecumenical dialogue in employing the term "international Jewry", even if the tone was that of irony. Merton apologizes and pledges to be more careful in the future.

Eingrenzung und Inhalt
First lines: "I had set aside the May issue of «Fellowship» in order to read Thomas Merton's article,"... Contents index: [sent by Best to Merton with Best's 1967/07/29 or 1967/07/31 letter] objects to Merton's use of "international Jewry" between the words "traitors" and "racists" in a sentence in the article "Blessed are the Meek" - does not think his criticism of "pharisaism" in the peace movement is appropriate for the audience of «Fellowship».
