Holograph, signed.
Oliver Johnson is sorry that he cannot print Maria Weston Chapman's letter this week, when every inch of space must be kept open for Mrs. Child's report of the Subscription Anniversary. Maria W. Chapman's letter shall be printed next week. Johnson says: "The article you criticise is, of course, Mr. [Edmund] Quincy's, ..." Oliver Johnson will keep Maria W. Chapman's anonymity. Oliver Johnson writes: "You will see that [James Miller] McKim's letter this week is intended as a protest against the 'leader,' though less emphatic than yours." Oliver Johnson believes that immense sums have been sent from Europe "to corrupt our press and mislead the people, and that a most terrible conspiracy has been formed to put down the Anti-slavery cause."
