Run away, a servant man named Malcolm Blair, an Irishman, by
trade a shoemaker, about five feet six or seven inches high,
thick and well sett, pale visage, short black curled hair: 
Had on when he went away a blue coattee double breasted,
spotted jacket, half mourning breeches, and a pair of turn'd
pumps, with plated buckles in them.  He crossed Schuylkill
last Saturday.  He can beat the drum very well, and may
probably try to get into the army.  Whoever takes up said
runaway, so that I may get him again, shall have three
pounds reward, and if brought home reasonable expenses.
[signe]d Andrew Summers.  At the Mayor's office.  N.B. It is
probable he may either sell or change his cloaths. April 8.
