Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison praises Oliver Johnson's "valediction" in the last issue National Anti-Slavery Standard. Garrison writes: "I was glad to see Mr. May's letter. It is frank, manly, and right to the point. But it (with your article) will certainly "raise a breeze" in a certain quarter, and you must both be prepared for sharp replications in the Standard." [Samuel?] May's resolution of thanks to Edmund Quincy and Oliver Johnson was voted down. May questioned the use of the American Anti-Slavery's money to support the National Anti-Slavery Standard under Parker Pillsbury's editorship. Garrison comments on A. M. Powell's omission to check names in a roll call taken at a American Anti-Slavery Society meeting.
Includes an envelope with the delivery address: Oliver Johnson, Esq., Anti-Slavery Office, 48 Beekman Street, New York City, N.Y.
