Lancaster, July 3, 1779. One Hundred and Fifty Dollars
Reward. Run away from the subscriber on the evening of the
20th June last, a Negro man named Dan, about 24 years of
age, 5 feet 4 or 5 inches high, much pitted with the small-
pox; his dress when he went off is uncertain, as he had
sundry cloaths with him, amongst which are, two coats . . .
[4 lines] Said Negro is fond of playing the fiddle, and has
a good deal of money with him which he acquired that way; no
doubt he will be particular in changing his dress, and
endeavour to pass as a freeman. Whoever takes up and secures
said slave in any goal so that his master may have him
again, shall receive the above reward, and if delivered to
me in Lancaster, two hundred dollars, together with
reasonable charges, paid by [signed] Christian Wirtz.
The said Negroe man can talk the German language, and is
this country born.
