Four dollars reward.  Run away, on the 5th of this instant
April, from the subscriber, living in East Whiteland,
Chester county, a Negroe man, named Pedro, about 26 years of
age, about 5 feet 10 inches high, a well set stout active
lively cunning fellow, very mannerly when abroad, and
addicted to lying, talks but poor English, being brought up
among the Spaniards; had on, and took with him, a blue napt
cloth coat, with yellow metal buttons and red lining, an old
brown great coat, a calicoe jacket, and a lead coloured
cloth ditto, with sleeves, an under cloth ditto, without
sleeves, a fine hat, about half-worn, a fine shirt, with
ruffles at the bosom, one homespun coarse ditto, good
buckskin breeches, white sailor's trowsers, brown yarn
stockings, two pair of worsted ditto, one deep and the other
pale blue, a pair of ribbed thread stockings, two pair of
good shoes, with plated buckles, one silk cap, and one white
ditto, ruffled, but perhaps he may change his clothes; also
took with him a violin, but is no great player thereon. 
Whoever apprehends said Negroe, and secures him in any goal,
in this or the neighbouring provinces, shall have the above
reward, and reasonable charges, paid by me [signed] Robert
Powell. . .
