1. 1966/09/25 TL[c] from Merton Yesterday in my scribbled note to John Hunt I acted as if I thought both propositions were open: proposition for article for Love issue - "Love and need: Is love a package or a message?" - people put a market value on love-seeking instead of "the discovery of the true self in the love of the other" / criticism about monks writing on love - Merton thinks only those who have fallen in love should be able to become monks «detailed view»
2. 1966/10/04 TLS to Merton I'd very much like to see "Love and Need." It's hard to tell, in spite of your good description wants to see manuscript of "Love and Need" before decision is made to publish / definitely wants to publish "Speaking Out" «detailed view»
3. 1966/10/20 TLS to Merton I'm grieved to report that Love and Need just isn't right for The Post, the Love in America issue John Hunt asks Merton to pursue "Speaking Out" article - they will not publish "Love and Need" «detailed view»
