Item Information

Title:
Letter from Oliver Johnson, New York, [N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, 14 March, 1863
Description:
Oliver Johnson states that he and Tilton broached the subject of England to Wendell Phillips, and Johnson confides to Garrison that he is "almost certain" that Phillips will consent to go, provided that he is convinced that he will be greater use to the cause abroad than at home. Johnson states his desire that Tilton accompany Phillips should the latter travel to England. Johnson informs Garrison that he has yet to have searched for a location for their "annual meeting", and suggests that they make use of Cheever's church once more.
