Description

Holograph, signed with initials.William Lloyd Garrison and his wife want a photograph of Mrs. Oliver Johnson. William Lloyd Garrison comments on Oliver Johnson's account of the Longwood Meeting of the Progressive Friends. Garrison writes: "The appearance and speech of Bayard Taylor, on the occasion, must have been a matter of interest to many." He asks about the Reverend W. J. Potter. Garrison comments: "Lucy Stone and her husband were real acquisitions. They are certainly well mated, and advocate the cause of woman with marked ability and rare good sense." He mentions the great Jubilee Celebration in Boston. Garrison wants copies of the Independent containing his article on Charles Sumner's speech so that he can send copies abroad. Garrison saw President Grant for the first time and comments: "He has a very commonplace look, and no one, without being told, would ever imagine that he possessed any remarkable ability, in a military sense or otherwise. Thus far, as President, he has done exceedingly well."Includes an envelope with the delivery address: Oliver Johnson, Independent Office, New York City.
