One hundred dollars reward. A Negro man, named Caesar,
having been hired into Capt. Wright's company, and Col.
Cortland's regiment, about a year ago; as his term of
enlistment has expired some time since, and he has not
returned to the subscriber, living in Albany county,
Loonenburgh Township, the above reward will be paid to any
person who shall secure him in any of the Continental gaols,
and all reasonable charges. The subscriber is informed,
that he was discharged from the army at Valley-Forge the
beginning of last June, on account of his bad state of
health. Said Negro man is about 28 years of age, and
slender made; he plays well on the violin, and is a
complaisant fellow.
