Description

Holograph, signedTitle devised by catalogerAddressed from Anti-Slavery OfficeOliver Johnson writes to James Miller M'Kim expressing his concern that the War may bring about the "death of the Standard', and that he has received a letter from Maria Weston Chapman asserting her view that it is "out of the question" to continue publishing both the Standard and the Liberator, and that they ought to be merged into one publication. Johnson states his uncertainty concerning William Lloyd Garrion's willingness to abandon the Liberator so that the cause "may have an organ acceptable to all its friends", but states that he believes Garrison's age and state of health might be used to persuade him to do so if it can be displayed that such an action would allow him to serve the cause more efficiently
