Description: With the upcoming concluding issue of the Liberator coming out later in the week, Johnson writes Garrison to congratulate him on the conclusion of his editorial career, and on his good fortune to have lived to "witness the complete triumph of the cause to which [his] life has been devoted". Johnson marvels at the "rapid birth, growth and final success" of the abolitionist movement, finding no comparable parallel save for 'in the lives of Jesus and his apostles".
