"Holograph, signed. William Lloyd Garrison begins this letter to Oliver Johnson: \"Accept my special thanks for your letter of Thursday, urging me to write my autobiography, with particular reference to certain phases of the Anti-Slavery struggle. Out of my regard to your opinion and that of other cherished friends, I cannot say nay; yet I am not quite ready to respond affirmatively in a public manner, lest nothing should come of it.\" Garrison doubts such a book would sell, and his memory is not equal to the task. The postman just brought two overdue copies of the Christian Union. Garrison does not share Oliver Johnson's admiration for Horace Greeley, who has just died."
