1967-09-24, TLS Biram to Fox, James, 'it may be, for all I know, discourteous to write to a member of your/Abbey [sic]'

John Biram was originally from England and moved to the United States around 1960. A couple of years later, he would quit his job as a scientist and focus on writing. He wrote poems and includes one called "A Cocktail Party" with this letter to Merton. He also writes about the negative effects of technology in a book called «Teknosis», which would be published until 11 years after this correspondence (1978).
