Brookfield, July 13, 1775.  Ran away from their masters,
this day, three men servants: the one named Peter, who is a
thick-set fellow, very black, and much bow-legged, 22 years
of age, a good fiddler, talks plain English. -- Another
named Abner, who stiles himself Abner Hybra . . . [8 lines]
The other named Cuff, a Negro servant (a fiddler) about 25
years old, talks good English---whoever shall apprehend said
servants, and return them to the subscribers at Brookfield,
shall receive as a reward for their trouble and expense the
sum of fifteen dollars, or five dollars for either or each
of them so returned. [signed] Phineas Upham, Francis
Foxcroft, Jabez Upham.
