    Sojourner Truth
                            I have
just read in the Express that
there will be some Collered [sic]
people in Rochester wishing a
home I would like one to Come
and live with me- and my wife
we have no family and would
like to have one who is bright
smart and active Molatto girl
for a help if I could know
when they come I would come
and select one about twelve
years old
