Excerpt from Led On! Step by Step: Scenes From Clerical, Military, Educational, and Plantation, Life in the South 1828-1898

The Rev. Charles Frederick Hoffman, D.D., LL.D., D.C.L., President of the Association for Promoting the Interests of Church Schools, Colleges, and Seminaries in the United States:

At your kind and sympathetic suggestion, I have written some reminiscences of my life. You seemed to think some of the incidents of that life, which I have from time to time related to you, were of interest and might do some good. Appreciating your judgment and opinion, I have endeavored to make this sketch of my life, neither sparing my faults nor magnifying my virtues, but have tried to show how the Divine Love and Hand have led me all these years. I have brought out how all one's life is often turned by some incident which, perhaps, at the time, seemed trifling, but was fraught with marked results.

I ask the favor to inscribe these pages to your honored self, wishing that the record of my life were more worthy of your acceptance. But you will receive it, I trust, as a small token of the warm attachment I have for you.

With my love, I am
Yours,

A. Toomer Porter.

The above dedication was written before the decease of my lamented friend; I now therefore gratefully dedicate my autobiography to his memory.
