Letter from Oliver Johnson, New York, [N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Nov[ember] 17, 1871

Oliver Johnson expresses his regret that William Lloyd Garrison will not be attending the anniversary convention of the American Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia, and states his hope that Garrison will address the convention via a letter in which he expresses his views on the "Constitutional question" and in which he dissuades the society from engaging a course of action that would be or would appear to be an "endorsement of Mrs. Woodhull's doctrine". Johnson states that he has another letter published in the Revolution in response to Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and expresses his annoyance with her deviation from the subject matter. Johnson informs Garrison that he has written an editorial for the Revolution on his views concerning Judge Cartter's decision, and hopes that Garrison will do likewise in the Woman's Journal.
