Title:
Letter from Oliver Johnson, [New York, N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Dec[ember] 10, 1871
Description:
Oliver Johnson writes to William Lloyd Garrison confirming that Garrison's subscription to the Daily Tribune should be processed. Informs Garrison that the American Woman Suffrage Association's convention "appears to have been a success", but that he has seen limited press coverage of the event. Johnson expresses his personal satisfaction that they did not commit "to the Woodhull doctrine of the Constitution", and states that he will be disappointed should Woodhull find success lobbying Congress while in Washington, as he feels she is working for "personal notoriety" and fears she will be misconstrued as a representative of the suffrage movement in whole and damage their chances of political success.
