William Lloyd Garrison received two letters from Oliver Johnson about Mrs. Oliver Johnson's great physical suffering and the hopelessness of her case. Garrison feels that death is a "joyful liberation of the spirit from its clayey tenement." Garrison is suffering from "spinal weakness and inflammation." He hasn't yet decided whether he will go to the Progressive Friends' meeting in Longwood, Pennsylvania. Mrs. Mary Ashton Livermore will be one of the speakers at the meeting.
Accompanied by an envelope addressed to Oliver Johnson, Tribune Office, New York City.
