Item Information

Title:
Letter from Oliver Johnson, [New York, N.Y. ?], to William Lloyd Garrison, 23 Nov[ember], 1854
Description:
Oliver Johnson thanks William Lloyd Garrison for his having agreed to speak at the anti-slavery lecture on December 5 (1854). Johnson asks if Garrison would be free to speak on November 28 (1854) if need be, as Charles Sumner has fallen ill and cannot make the engagement. Johnson states that he has already asked Henry Ward Beecher, but is awaiting a reply. Johnson assures Garrison that should he agree to speak, he will have no concerns regarding advertisement of the event to ensure that an audience for his speech will be found.
