Ran away from the subscriber, at Stratford, in Westmoreland
County, on Sunday the 28th of August, Charles Love, a tall
thin man, about sixty years of age; he professes music,
dancing, fencing, and plays extremely well on the violin,
and all wind instruments;  he stole when he went away a very
good bassoon, made by Schuchart, which he carried with him,
as also a Dutch or German fiddle, with an old hautboy and
German flute, which are his own; he rode a small white
horse, with a Virginia made saddle, and a coarse blue cloth
housing:  it is supposed he will make towards Charles-Town
in South-Carolina.
   Whoever apprehends the said Love, and brings him to me,
in Stratford, shall have eight pounds reward, if taken in
Virginia; nine pounds if taken in Maryland or North-
Carolina, and ten pounds if taken any where else on the
continent. [signed] Philip Ludwell Lee.
