Notes:
Holograph, signed.
William Lloyd Garrison writes: "Enlcosed, you will find the notice for the 1st of August celebration at Abington. Also, the disclaimer of Conway's mischievous overture to Mason, by the Executive Committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society." (See Ms.A.1.2 v.41, p.41B for more about this disclaimer.) Garrison is slowly learning the details of the New York anti-draft riots. He expects there to be a similar riot in Boston. Garrison comments: "How sad the fate of Superintendent Kennedy! How honorably he deserves to be remembered for the manner in which he aimed to discharge the responsible duties of his position!"
Includes an envelope with the delivery address: Oliver Johnson, Anti-Slavery Office, 48 Beekman Street, New York City. It is postmarked July 14, Boston, Mass.
