Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Oliver Johnson writes William Lloyd Garrison from Milton, New York, where he has attended an anti-slavery convention with Susan B. Anthony and Aaron Powell. Johnson states his concurrence with Anthony's opinion that, considering the financial state of the American Anti-Slavery Society, they would be well advised to charge a nominal entrance fee for the upcoming 1857 Anniversary. Johnson further proposes that the Executive Committee allocate the majority of time at the Anniversary to "speakers of the best sort", and that they handle all internal and organizational matters in private as much as possible.
