Source Description
Johnson relays to Garrison that Sydney Howard Gay has made arrangements to publish their "festival notice" in the Tribune, on condition that they in turn publish advertisements for the Tribune in both the Liberator and the Standard. Johnson informs Garrison that the Tribune has announced that Garrison will be speaking at the Cooper Institute before the "African Colonization Society", a claim which Johnson states he hardly credits owing to Garrison's thoughts on the matter. Johnson states that he read a notice in the Commonwealth intimating a change in the leadership and ideological positions of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, and urges Garrison to not permit Wendell Phillips and his supporters to drive Garrison and his positions away from the center of their movement.
