Letter from Oliver Johnson, [New York], to Samuel May, June 11, 1887
Description:
Johnson discusses certain minor changes in the wording of his review of Eli Thayer's book. He says that he sometimes feels "a little humiliated in having paid so much attention to a blatherskite [like Thayer]!" He remarks on the amount of correspondence that they have had about the business of publishing the review. He doubts if John G. Nicolay and John Hay will give any credit to William Lloyd Garrison for the part he played in anti-slavery history.
