Nov.21st, 1931

 

People wanted to establish a retreat in America in Meher Baba's name. Cath Gardner wanted to turn over to the Master her one-hundred-acre, wooded estate called Greenfield in Hancock, New Hampshire, to use as a retreat. Baba liked the idea and drove there to see the place on November 21st. It was a beautiful spot surrounded by mountains and meadows. It had an old farmhouse with ten rooms. Although the original idea was to create a center there for him, the plan never materialized.
