Item Information

Title:
Letter from Oliver Johnson, New York, [N.Y.], to the Executive Committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society, 19 May, 1862
Description:
Oliver Johnson writes to the Executive Committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society seeking advice and/or instruction pertaining to an editorial matter. Johnson states that a letter submitted by Parker Pillsbury for publication in the Standard is a "gross reflection upon one of the ablest & truest friends of the cause", and characterizes Pillbury's arguments as founded upon a "false assumption" that leading Abolitionists consider their work "accomplished". Johnson states that he will publish the letter if requested by Pillsbury or ordered by the Executive Committee, but that he has written Pillsbury requesting that he withdraw the missive in question from consideration.
