Description: Oliver Johnson informs William Lloyd Garrison that he has assumed editorialship of "The Pennsylvania Freeman", and that his poor health had obliged him to leave his position in New York City. Johnson notes that he wishes to do useful work in his post, but doubts his capacity to fulfill such responsibilities. Johnson states that he had spent a week with Thomas McClintock, and during this time was taken to attend a spiritualist seance in which a boy channelled the spirit of N.P. Rogers. Johnson copies a letter transcribed during one of these seances in which "Rogers" makes amends with Garrison for their estrangement at the time of Rogers' passing.
Notes: Holograph, signed.
