Letter from Oliver Johnson, New York, [N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, May 29, 1874
Description:
Oliver Johnson thanks William Lloyd Garrison for his previous letter, and states that as he has learned from Wendell Phillips that Garrison will be arriving in New York City the following week, he will refrain from giving his full response until he sees Garrison in person. Johnson states that, provided she is feeling well enough to entertain visitors the following week, his wife Jane would be glad to make Garrison's acquaintance, as Garrison had not yet met her since she and Johnson married following the passing of his first wife, Mary Anne. Johnson responds to a minor criticism Garrison offered pertaining to a piece by Johnson concerning Abner Kneeland, stating that the conclusions drawn by Garrison were not at all his intention.
