This letter is a reply to J. M. Japhet and James Johnson's letter to William Lloyd Garrison on August 6, 1872, in which they endorsed Garrison's comments about Charles Sumner; see Call No. Ms.A.1.1 v.8, p.20A.
William Lloyd Garrison says that the colored people know which political party set them free and gave them the vote and which one opposed their freedom and enfranchisement. Garrison comments that colored people "have just as much reason for believing that Satan, when he presents himself in the garb of an angel of light, will never again be up to his old tricks, as that the Rebel-Copperhead Democracy, now that it has borrowed a Republican guise, will henceforth be true to the cause of freedom and equal rights."
Includes an envelope with the delivery address: J M. Japhet, or James Johnson, Colored Club "Harmony," New York City.
