Cow-Neck, Long Island, August 13, 1760.  Run away, on
Saturday night last, from the subscriber, a Negro man, named
Primus, about 20 years of age, somewhat smaller than a
middle size, a likely well looking fellow, speaks very good
English and low Dutch, plays on the violin, can read and
write, and has tended a mill.  He is supposed to have on, or
taken with him, . . . [9 lines, clothing, terms,]  three
pounds reward, if taken on Long-Island, and six pounds, if
taken off the island. [signed] Henderick Onderdonck.
  N.B. It is likely he will forge a pass.
