Meanwhile I studied with much spiritual fruit your  "Introduction on Cistercian Theology", "Monastic Orientation", and "Action and Contemplation in St. Bernard" / requesting prior offer of a copy of <i>Bread in the Wilderness</i> / vocation shortage and monetary problems at monastery at Aelenberg
 1955/03/14 HLSto MertonKind thanks for your hearty letter of Dec. '54! It took a long time before we succeeded, too by the  sending samples of Dutch devotional art / mere 100 years of freedom for Dutch Catholics / asks Merton's reaction to charcoal pieces by Flemish expressionists / requesting drawings by Merton and photos of Gethsemani community / translating into Dutch <i>Bread in the Wilderness</i>, <i>Sign of Jonas</i>
