Holograph, signed with initials.
William Lloyd Garrison asked George Washington Julian and Gerrit Smith to speak at the annual meeting, but he doubts if either will accept the invitation. He doesn't feel inclined to ask Octavius Brooks Frothingham to speak because of an earlier refusal. If Oliver Johnson should happen to see him, an invitation might be extended. Garrison writes: "Anna E. Dickinson is already beginning to make her mark, as you will see by this week's Liberator." Wendell Phillips returned home in good health.
Includes an envelope with the delivery address: Oliver Johnson, Anti-Slavery Office, New York City.
