William Lloyd Garrison asks Oliver Johnson and his wife to call on him at Wendell Phillips's boarding house at 155 East 10th Street. William L. Garrison accepts Oliver Johnson's invitation to write for the Independent. Garrison writes: "No credit was given to the London Daily News (in which it appeared editorially) for the handsome notice of me and the Liberator in the article copied by the Independent. I presume the omission was unintentional. If so, might it not be well to let the readers of the Independent know from what source it came? No doubt Miss Martineau wrote the article." Garrison is "inexpressibly sad" about his quarrel with Wendell Phillips over the latter's charge that Garrison is deserting the colored race.
Includes the accompanying envelope, with the delivery address: Oliver Johnson, Esq., Independent Office, New York City.
