It reveals that the book is meant to raise money to help Harriet Tubman.
Read the following passage from a foreword to Harriet: The Moses of Her People by Sarah H. Bradford. What information does the letter help to convey about the book?
I am very glad to learn that you are about to publish a revised edition of your life of that heroic woman, Harriet Tubman, by whose assistance so many American slaves were enabled to break their bonds. [Harriet’s] shrewdness in planning the escape of slaves, her skill in avoiding arrest, her courage in every emergency, and her willingness to endure hardship and face any danger for the sake of her poor followers was phenomenal. I regret to hear that she is poor and ill, and hope the sale of your book will give her the relief she so much needs and so well deserves.
