The double strike of the CDS (slight rotation and upward shift) makes it hard to determine if the day of mailing is 6, 8, or 9.
Wayne Youngblood at Regency informed me that the cover is dated Sept 9, 1845 based on the internal dateline.
BROOK FARM (1841-47), an institute of agriculture and education, situated on 160 acres at West Roxbury (Mass.), 9 miles from Boston, was organized in the summer of 1841 by the Rev. George Ripley, a former Unitarian minister, an editor of The Dial, a critical literary monthly, and a leader in the Transcendentalists club, as an informal gathering of the intellectuals of the period and vicinity. The project was financed by the sale of stock. Among the original shareholders were Charles A. Dana and Nathaniel Hawthorne, who served together as the first directors of agriculture. Other members were John S. Dwight, Minot Pratt, George Partridge, Bradford and Warren Burton.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Amos Bronson Alcott, Margaret Fuller, Theodore Parker, Orestes A. Bronson, and William Henry Channing were interested visitors. (www.gluedideas.com).
