500 $aWilliam Lloyd Garrison sends his sympathies to Oliver Johnson upon learning of the serious illness facing Mrs. Johnson. Garrison writes: "No one more clearly perceives than she does that death is simply a transitional experience, a new birth under better conditions than the first; and she has had too many proofs of the continued existence of those who have gone before to entertain the feeblest doubt as to the destiny of endless progression that awaits her." Garrison has abandoned the idea of going to the women's suffrage meeting in New York, which Lucy Stone has urged him to attend. He was glad to learn that Theodore Tilton did not write the editorials that attacked President Grant.
