Sr. Bridget is asking whether Merton can attend a meeting with Sybil Harton. At that meeting they discussed problems in determining who has a vocation, active versus contemplative leanings in the order, and an "identity crisis" that exists in many orders.
Sr. Bridget was an Anglican religious writing Merton from the Convent of St. Helena in Versailles, Kentucky. By her 1973 correspondence with the Merton Center, she was with the Convent of the Incarnation (Community of the Sisters of the Love of God) in Oxford, England.
