of leather breeches, patch'd with new leather, a frock and
brown trowsers, a pair of new shoes, an old felt hat, loop'd
with tape, he pretends to understand shoemaking, fidling and
drumming; he said he belonged to Hardwick, in Massachusetts
colony . Whoever will secure said fellow and return him to
his regiment, shall have five dollars reward and necessary
charges paid, by [signed] Noadiah Hooker, Capt.
