Letter from Oliver Johnson, New York, [N.Y.], to James Miller M'Kim, 12 Oct[ober], 1861

Oliver Johnson assures James Miller M'Kim that his arrangements for William Lloyd Garrison do not include any public engagements nor speaking responsibilities, and that he simply wishes to enteratain Garrison as his household guest for a few days, having not had the opportunity for "uninterrupted intercourse" with Garrison for "twenty-years". Johnson adds that he has several friends in New York City whom he wishes Garrison to meet, as he hopes that such a meeting, however informal, could "do much to advance the cause" in New York City. Johnson closes by adding that he and Mary Anne Johnson will accompany Garrison to M'Kim's meeting.
