William Lloyd Garrison is sorry to hear how ill Mrs. Mary Ann White Johnson has been. Oliver Johnson need not apologize for not writing since he must be very busy at the New York Tribune Office. Garrison has no such excuse for himself. He is trying to decide whether to go to the Progressive Friends' meeting or attend a women's suffrage meeting in New York; Lucy Stone has been urging him to go to the suffrage meeting. He asks if Francis Abbott will be at the Friends' meeting. Garrison criticizes Theodore Tilton's literary style and says that his personal attacks on President Grant are "positively outrageous." Garrison has not seen the Senate Judiciary Committee's report on the Hooker-Woodhull memorial. He writes: "You will see by her hodge-podge weekly, that Mrs. Woodull and followers are preparing for a great political splurge anniversary week." He commends H. W. Beecher for urging the opening of the public libraries on Sunday.
Accompanied by an envelope addressed to Oliver Johnson, Tribune Office, New York City.
