cape and brass buttons, and the button-holes work'd with
red, and dark brown cloath jacket and breeches, a red cloath
jacket, a light colour'd sirtout, a white shirt, a pair
large silver shoe buckles mark'd C. I  & a violin.
  Whoever will take up said Negro, and convey him to his
master in Boston, shall have five dollars reward, and all
necessary charges paid, by me the subscriber, James Ivers. .
