Item Information

Title:
Letter from Oliver Johnson, New York, [N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, 23 May, 1859
Description:
Oliver Johnson informs William Lloyd Garrison that, after having consulted with Howland and others, he feels it inadvisable for the American Anti-Slavery Society to adopt Parker Pillsbury's resolutions concerning Cheever and Ward, as he feels that they will be useful only in "astonishing & bewildering" the public. Johnson encloses his own resolutions for use at the New England Convention. Johnson reminds Garrison that he will be dependent upon his and Yerrinton's report of the proceedings for publication in the Standard.
