stockings, 2 pair deep blue others pale blue, one pair
shoes, one pair half boots, a fiddle, one new black
Barcelona handkerchief, one spotted ditto, one grey surtout
coat, and sundry other articles.  Whoever will take up said
Negro and return him to me or secure him, so that I may have
him again, shall receive ten dollars reward, and all
necessary charges paid, by [signed] Alexander McNiel.  N.B.
Said Negro is supposed to be made off towards the enemy.
