New-York, Printing-Office, in Beaver-street, April 17, 1762.
Ran away on Monday the 12th instant, from me the subscriber,
a mulatto servant man named Charles, and known by the name
of Charles Roberts, or German: He is a likely, well-set
fellow, 28 or 30 years of age, about five and a half feet
high, and has had the small-pox. He has a variety of
clothes, some of them very good; affects to dress very neat
and genteelly, and generally wears a wig. He took with him .
. . [6 lines] waistcoats, breeches, and pairs of stockings;
a blue great coat, and a fiddle. His behaviour is
excessively complaisant, obsequious and insinuating; he
speaks good English, smoothly and plausibly, and generally
with a cringe and a smile; he is extremely artful, and ready
at inventing a specious pretence to conceal a villainous
action or design. He plays on the fiddle, can read and
write tolerably well, and understands a little of arithmetic
and accounts. . . [41 more lines, five pounds reward,
signed] John Holt.
