[Letter to] Dear Mrs. Chapman [manuscript]
Publisher
New York
Description
Holograph, signed
Oliver Johnson sends a copy of his sketch of William Lloyd Garrison, "as stereotyped for the New Cyclopaedia." Since neither of the editors appreciated William L. Garrison and one affected to despise him, Oliver Johnson was careful to observe the rules of the work, so as to prevent mutilation of the manuscript. Johnson regrets that the sketches of Dr. and Mrs. Follen in the Cyclopaedia are "so meagre and unsatisfactory." He explains how this came about. Johnson says: "The Harper's Ferry affair, as you see, absorbs the Standard as it absorbs the mind of the country. I was sorry to omit again the Paris letter, but I would not get it in without omitting something of more immediate and pressing interest. The invasion was God's own earthquake, and Slavery trembles to its very foundations from the shock. Now is the time for anti-slavery work."
