(FROST, Robert.) A Sermon.
A Limited Edition, 1 of 500 copies, the uncorrected issue, with the word "worry" on page 14, line 2 not corrected. 8vo., Publisher’s red wove paper wraps with paper label, 16 pp., near fine. Published by The Spiral Press (New York) for Dr. Victor E. Reichert, 1957.
This example is inscribed by Robert Frost to his cousin Joseph Frost: "To Joseph Frost from his cousin Robert Frost / Cambridge Mass November 3 1954.”
Joseph William Pepperrell Frost (1923-2008) was a historian and writer from Maine who, throughout his life, would share a close bond with his cousin Robert. With about fifty years between them, the two first met when Joseph was a young boy during Robert and Elinor's visit to the Frost ancestral home in the late 1920s. Later, Joseph's college years would be marked with frequent visits to stay with his cousin, even accompanying Robert to some of his many speaking engagements. In adulthood, he dedicated part of his time to researching and compiling records related to Frost family genealogy, a collection of which is now housed within the Portsmouth Athenaeum of New Hampshire.
The sermon was delivered by Robert Frost upon the request of Rabbi Dr. Victor E. Reichert on the first day of The Feast of Tabernacles at the Rockdale Avenue Temple in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 10 1946.
"Victor E. Reichert (1897-1990) was rabbi of the Rockdale Avenue Temple in Cincinnati, Ohio, from 1938 to 1962 and shared a long friendship with the American poet Robert Frost (1874-1963). In 1960 he was instrumental in awarding Frost an honorary Doctorate at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. Their relationship is documented in Andrew Marks's The Rabbi & the Poet (1994).” (University of Buffalo.)
Although Crane claims that this publication was not authorised by Robert Frost, Joseph Blumenthal asserts in "Robert Frost and His Printers" that copies were evenly distributed between Frost, Reichert, and Blumenthal, however Frost requested that the edition be suppressed as "something in the sermon as printed would offend someone then still living.”
