Johnson...lived in a neater house; dined at a better table; took, paid for, and read, more newspapers; better understood the moral, religious, and political character of the nation, —than nine tenths of the slaveholders in Talbot county Maryland.

[Johnson] has conciliated the respect of the community in which he dwells... by his uniformly upright conduct and modest manners... [and had built up] a very pretty estate, and has found time to attend to the cultivation of his mind.
