Item Information

Title:
Letter from Oliver Johnson, [New York, N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, June 28, 1869
Description:
Oliver Johnson informs William Lloyd Garrison that the proceedings from their meeting will be out shortly, and promises to send a Garrison a copy. Johnson states that neither Robert Purvis, Edward Davis, Anna Dickinson, nor Alfred Love were in attendance. Johnson states that Mr. Potter's speech was well-received, and notes that while Potter lacks nothing in spirit or culture, he is not possessed of the "magnetic force and presence" that can easily command the moods and sympathies of an audience. Johnson offers his regrets that he was unable to attend the Peace Jubilee, and labels many of its critics as "hyper-critical".
