Oliver Johnson relays his plans for his departure for Vermont, and mentions to Garrison that Fanny Garrison had made mention of her desire to accompany them. Johnson inquires of Garrison's thoughts concerning the (Preliminary Emancipation) Proclamation, and announces his hopes that emancipation "will save us". Johnson states that while Democrats will no doubt be embittered by Lincoln's decree, the majority of Northern opinion is on the President's side.
