Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Addressed from "Anti-Slavery Office".Oliver Johnson thanks William Lloyd Garrison for his having agreed to speak at the anti-slavery lecture on December 5 (1854). Johnson asks if Garrison would be free to speak on November 28 (1854) if need be, as Charles Sumner has fallen ill and cannot make the engagement.

Johnson assures Garrison that should he agree to speak, he will have no concerns regarding advertisement of the event to ensure that an audience for his speech will be found.
