Title:
Letter from Oliver Johnson, New York, [N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, July 16, 1841
Description:
Oliver Johnson writes William Lloyd Garrison concerning an essay which he had previously forwarded to Garrison's attention on "the rights of woman" written by a "Mrs. Dr. Wilson" of Cadiz, Ohio. Johnson states that the National Antislavery Standard had rejected the essay as "extraneous", and Dr. Wilson presently requests that the essay now be "published or returned". Johnson states that he hopes Mrs. Chapman will propose the publication of an almanac jointly edited by the "American & Massachusetts Societies". Johnson concludes by noting that G.W. Benson's health has improved.
