This letter is chiefly about Mrs. Mary Ann Johnson's illness and impending death. William Lloyd Garrison says about Mrs. Johnson: "Her kind and grateful message to my dear wife and myself tenderly affects us; but we feel that we owe much to her as well as to yourself. Should any favorable symptoms unexpectedly occur, you will be sure to comfort us with the intelligence." Garrison doubts if he can go to the Progressive Friends' meeting in Longwood, Pennsylvania, because he wants to attend the peace jubilee at about the same time.
Accompanied by an envelope addressed to: Oliver Johnson, Tribune Office, New York City.
