Eight hundred dollars reward. Montgomery County, near the
Sugar Loaf Mountain, October 10, 1780.
Ran away from the subscriber, the 25th of September last, a
Negro man named Frederick, about 26 years of age, about 6
feet high, and is a black country-born likely well-set
fellow.  Had on when he went away, a coarse shirt and short
trousers; and carried with him. . .[7 lines on clothes
carried.]
and a testament and hymn-book.  He can read print, is very
sensible and artful, delights much in traffic, and it is
probable he will change his cloaths, and endeavour to pass
for a free man.
. . . [7 line on reward terms.]
[signed] John Willson
