Five hundred dollars reward.
Went away from the subscriber, on the 25th of April last, a
Negro boy, named Nero, about 21 years old, a well sett,
likely fellow, speaks good English, and has much of a
musical voice, he carried with him, two felt-hats, one with
a gold lace for a band, one new stript woolen shirt, one red
baize waistcoat, a brown home-made coat, cuffed and lappeled
with red, a pair of new moose skin breeches, with
Matthewman's buttons, one pair of blue broad-cloth breeches,
one pair of white ribb'd yarn stockings, one pair of black
and white ditto, two pair of good shoes, a pair of square
brass shoe buckles, a pair of silver knee-buckles with brass
chapes and tongs, and a violin.  Whoever will give
intelligence of him, that he may be recovered, or convey him
to me, shall receive the above reward, and all necessary
charges paid by [signed] Thomas Legate. . . [3 lines]
