Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Letter addressed from Anti-Slavery Office.Johnson reports that Willam H. Day is in New York City, and can be engaged as a speaker at need, should Anna Dickinson decline the invitation of the Executive Committee. Johnson states that he received a letter from a Mrs. A. Jackson informing himm of her husband's desire to come to New York. Johnson confesses himself ignorant of Jackson's quality, but admits that "Jeff. Davis's coachman" would make a "talking line in our advertisement". Johnson closes by alerting Garrison that he saw an announcement publicizing a lecture at Cheever's church by George Thompson scheduled for the evening when Thompson was already engaged by the American Anti-Slavery Society, and states that he has written Thompson and Cheever to resolve the matter.
