520 $aOliver Johnson conveys to William Lloyd Garrison his opinion that the Standard ought not to be discontinued, arguing that so long as "the four millions of slaves clank their fetters", their work remains unfinished, and that "never was the paper more needed than now". Johnson argues that the claims made towards shuttering the Standard have been made since its inception, and are not specific to the circumstances obtaining from the war. Johnson admits that while the war will cripple their organization resources, they ought not "surrender our Fort Sumter so long as it is possible for us to hold it", and that they should make every possible effort to continue publication. Johnson admits that he has long hoped to retire from the Standard to his farm, but states that even this deeply-held wish cannot compel him to agree with the proposal put forth.
