Ran away last night from his master, John Williams of Somers
a Negro servant named Peter, a stout well set fellow,
betwixt 30 and 40 years of age, very black, he took a
considerable quantity of clothing with him.  He can read and
write well, it is not unlikely he may have a forg'd pass; he
can play well upon a fiddle, and took a good one with him. 
If any person will take him up and bring him to his said
master, they shall have 8 dollars reward.  per me, [signed]
John Williams. Somers, August 12, 1773.
