Monckton Park, Nov. 5, 1782. Ran away from the above farm
last night, a Negro man, about twenty-three years old,
middle-sized, bandy or bow-legged; had on a blanket or white
coarse short coat, with red cape and red buttons, an iron
collar about his neck, which had been on a few days on
account of his concerting with another Negro to rob his
master and attempt for New-York. He is fond of playing on
the fiddle, which he does badly, and is a great thief, liar
and drunkard. . . [4 lines, signed] Robert M. Malcolm
