In this letter, Oliver Johnson discusses the details with regard to publishing the Report of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society in pamphlet form. Charles C. Burleigh is going to address the Manhattan Society, but Oliver Johnson feels that B[urleigh] lacks "the courage to meet the enemy on the ground." Oliver Johnson comments on J. G. Whittier's letter in the Pennsylvania Freeman: "He, and such as he, will find ere long that honesty and fidelity are more than a match for their cunning and duplicity."
