NOTE. It is due to the lady by whom the following Narrative was kindly written, to state that she has not been able to see a single proof-sheet of it; consequently, it is very possible that diverse errors in printing may have occurred, [1 of 2]
(though it is hoped none materially affecting the sense,) especially in regard ot the names of individuals referred to therein. The name of Van Wagener shold read Van Wagenen. [2 of 2]

My acquaintance with the subject of the accompanying Narrative, Sojourner Truth, for several years past, has led me to form a very high appreciation of her understanding, moral integrity, disinterested kindness, and religious sincerity and enlightenment. [1 of 2]
Any assistance or co-operation that she may receive in the sale of her Narrative, or in any other manner, I am sure will be meritoriously bestowed. [2 of 2]
