James R. Johnson to Frederick Douglass, June 28, 1852

1

Another Caution.

Friend Douglass:—It is highly probable that a colored young man, about eighteen years old, calling himself "George," is an imposter, so far as his professed desire to hasten to Canada is concerned. I arrive at this conclusion by comparing contradictory reports which he has given of himself, in Livonia, Richmond, East Bloomfield, &c.

Yours,

J. R. Johnson.
