Oliver Johnson writes to William Lloyd Garrison stating that his enthusiasm for a proposed trip to Washington D.C. with George Thompson has diminished since Garrison had decided against accompanying them, but states his eagerness for a voyage with Thompson nonetheless. Johnson states that he is willing to accept the proposal that Thompson pay for one-half of his expenses for the voyage, but expresses his belief that if Thompson is willing to do such, then he ought to be "free to choose the man" joining him. Johnson closes by announcing that Wendell Phillips has agreed to manage the Standard in his absence, and annonces his joy at the "good news of Helen" delivered in Garrison's last letter
