Six pounds (hard money) reward.  Harford county, October 5,
1782.  Ran away, from Spesatine [?] Island, a Negro fellow
named Bob, about 5 feet 5 inches high, well-set, until he
had his thigh broke, which makes him go lame, as one leg and
thigh are shorter than the other; has a down-cast guilty
look, affects to talk very politely, drinks, lies, and plays
on the fiddle . . . [5 more lines, signed] Samuel Hughes,
William Hall.
