Run away, a Negroe fellow, named Ishmael, well known in
Savannah, where he is daily employed by Masters of vessels,
notwithstanding he has no ticket or license to work out.  In
the evenings he has been often seen playing the fiddle at
tippling houses, to prevent which in future, I hereby
promise a reward of forty shillings to any white person who
will make proof of his being harboured or employed as
aforesaid, to be paid on conviction of the offender, and
five shillings reward to any white person or Negroe who will
take him up and deliver him to me. [signed] Alex. Wylly. 
Savannah, 24th October, 1775. . .
