James Kay Jr. autograph letter signed to John Sullivan Dwight, Philadelphia, March 2, 1846

Kay despairs more than ever about the possibilities for the success of Brook Farm. There has been too much emphasis on associationism and reform, and not enough on making each member working to make the community pay its own way. Quoted in The Idyll of Brook Farm, p. 37-38.
