Description

Holograph, signed.Oliver Johnson has recieved notes from Harriet Martineau that refer to some "step she has felt it incumbent on her to take." (The meaning of this is unclear.) Johnson goes on to say: "I take it for granted the Committee cannot be so unwise as to discontinue her correspondence just at the moment when we are about to reap its fruits. I have a petty letter from Howland, for this week's paper." He discusses the "follies of Pillsbury and Foster" and Wendell Phillips's mistaken attempt to cover them. Oliver Johnson explains his editorial attitude toward Foster. He thanks Maria Weston Chapman for the poems of Mrs. [Maria Gowen?] Brooks.
