Jacobs wrote confidentially to Stowe proposing that she turn her account into a 2-volume narrative, 'but Stowe betrayed her by informing her employer [asking] for permission to incorporate Jacobs' story into her own current project, A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin. Rightfully indignant but even more resolved, Jacobs decided to compose the narrative herself.' (Smith Foster and Yarborough, Introduction to Norton edition of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, p. xii)
