Run away, the 3d of this instant Nov. from William Battell,
post-master, in New-Castle, a servant woman named Christian
Read, about 20 years old, red hair, fat and well
complexion'd, speaks fast and bold, is fond of her singing
and dancing; she had on when she went away a new plat bonnet
lined with red silk which she stole in New-Castle fair, a
small flower'd calico round gown red and white, and other
under cloaths convenient.  She went in company with one Ann
Bargain, a little hump back'd woman, who travels with a
brief and intends for Brunswick and New-York.  Whoever will
secure the said servant and give notice so that she may be
had again, shall have forty shillings and all reasonable
charges, paid by [signed] William Battell.
