William Lloyd Garrison refers to the updates contained in Oliver Johnson's letters regarding the "prospects of a disturbance at our approaching anniversary" and that Mr. Kennedy, the Superintendent of the New York City Police, is disposed to give abolitionists protection. William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, and Edmund Quincy have decided not to attempt more than one public meeting during the week of the anniversary of the American Anti-Slavery Society. The evening meeting at Cooper Institute should be omitted. "Now that civil war has begun," abolitionists must not add to the general commotion sweeping the country. All sympathies must be with the government, without compromise of principle. They were all astonished by Wendell Phillips's speech in New Bedford
Includes an accompanying envelope, with the delivery address: Oliver Johnson, Office of Anti-Slavery Standard, 5 Beekman Street, New York City
