The Path to Peace, Limited edition, one of 500 copies, printed in blue and black, initials in red, title-vignette in gold, with an inserted autograph letter signed with initials, 1p., additional poem "Awaitment" on Barcham Green paper loosely inserted (often missing), original vellum-backed decorative boards, 4to, Worcester, Stanbrook Abbey Press, 1960.
***The Letter is headed from Heytesbury House, Warminster, Wilts, dated 6.4.61, to Mr. Nigel Seligman, "It is such a lovely book, and the selection so well made. It was all thought of and made by one of the Benedictine nuns (who is organist & choir mistress at the Abbey) - and no one is making any profit out of it. All the printing was done by one nun - an astonishing performance. The poems at the end are the only ones I have written since I became a Catholic. You say that You have been struggling spiritually in discomfort. O that I could help you."
