Sub-Section C.7: Royalties Statements and Sales Summaries for Books by Merton, 1958-1969



This Sub-Section includes royalties earned on Thomas Merton's books. Some come in the form of an invoice, spreadsheet, or other document; and some are within the body of a letter. Most correspondence is between Dom James Fox, Abbot of Gethsemani Abbey, and publishers or literary agents.

This sub-group is divided into series based on ranges of years for royalties with later files split between foreign and domestic and a separate file made for summary statements. Another range of series is broken into royalties by language and country. Series names and arrangement are based on the filing method from Gethsemani Abbey.
