 1946/06/04 TLS[x]from MertonDo you remember that about a year ago Mark Van Doren let you have one of our manuscripts, "The  Merton asks Larsson to return the manuscript of "The Journal of My Escape from the Nazis" loaned to him by Mark Van Doren
 1946/09/09 HLS[x]from MertonYes, Rago [sp?] wrote to me - a very good letter. I can see he likes the book enough to publish it,  someone interested in publishing "The Journal of My Escape from the Nazis" if major edits were made - Merton responds that this is impossible due to his Cistercian vocation
