In consequence of the respectable recommendation of several gentlemen of the first character, who have born testimony to the good sense, intellectual improvements, and integrity of Gustavus Vassa, lately of that injured and oppressed class of men, the injured Africans; and further convinced of the ustice of his recommendations, from our own personal interviews with him, we take the liberty also to recommend the said Gustavus Vassa to the protection and assistance of the friends of humanity.
