Henry Borneman collected these 24 letters, typescripts, and clippings relating to Brook Farm and Fourierism. Many of the letters are to John S. Dwight. Also included is "Reminiscences of Brook Farm and its Founder: A Lecture Read at Waltham, Monday, March 26, 1900," written by Frank B. Sanborn of Concord, Mass., and published in American Transcendental Quarterly, 26 (Spring 1975).
