Letter from Oliver Johnson, [New York, N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, [May 25, 1865]
Description:
Johnson states that the "misrepresentation" of the Standard by Phillips at the anniversary meeting caused him "deep indignation", and accuses Phillips of having "taken his place as the leader of the anti-Garrison faction" in the American Anti-Slavery Society. Johnson remarks that he has yet to formulate concrete plans for his future, but hopes that Garrison and George Thompson will join him at the upcoming Yearly Meeting of Progressive Friends.
