William Lloyd Garrison refers to Oliver Johnson's letter and an undisclosed decision. Garrison writes: "I think we have decided wisely, and that great and general relief will be experienced as soon as our announcement appears in print." Garrison seems to favor postponing certain anti-slavery meetings. They are not holding the New England Convention.
