Parker Pillsbury defends his letter concerning James Miller M'Kim, arguing that the perspective of the American Anti-Slavery Society's field agents needed "every word to be said". Pillsbury declares that both the Liberator and the Standard have both affirmed that "the work of the Lecturer is done!", and expresses his displeasure that Johnson so quickly called into question his writing while that of M'Kim is printed "with no dissent"
