"Holograph, signed. Oliver Johnson thanks Maria Weston Chapman for some advice. With the exception of S. H. Gay, there is no one in New York who can supply him with information about the anti-slavery cause. Johnson says: \"In regard to Dr. Pomroy, I was balancing between entire silence and just such a mention of his fall as you suggest. ...We had a good meeting at Dr. Cheever's church last evening. Many noble words were spoken, and the feeling just what was most to be desired.\" Johnson comments: \"As for Emerson, I have always thought him vastly overrated. He falls a great way below my estimate of a genuine great man.\""
