Description

Holograph, signedTitle devised by catalogerManuscript addressed from "128 E. 12th St., New York", and dated "Sunday Eve. Feb. 16, 1868."Oliver Johnson informs William Lloyd Garrison that his article submitted for publication in the Independent will not appear in the upcoming issue, but that its publication has only been delayed. Johnson asserts that the letter of David Lee and Lydia Maria Child published in the Standard exposes their sympathies as residing with Wendell Phillips, and ridicules the idea that "the present is a more dangerous crisis than that of 1861". Johnson labels Elizabeth Cady Stanton's response to Garrison's letter a "ridiculous defiance of logic and common sense", and predicts that the wave of "train mania" will soon die out. Johnson closes by requesting that Garrison refrain from making any committments that would prevent him from attending the Yearly Meeting of Progressive Friends
