Forty dollars reward.  Ran away the 30th ult. from the
subscriber, a Negro fellow, named Tom, about twenty years of
age, of middle stature, and well made, has a scar on his
lip, and a little pock marked.  Had on a dark brown homespun
fustian suit of cloaths, almost new, the coat has a red
plush collar, a white shirt, good silk or thread stockings,
a small round hat pretty much wore, it is supposed he will
make towards the British, or perhaps to our army, pass for a
free man and endeavour to get employ as a fifer, he being a
tolerable good one.  All persons are strictly forbid to
harbour him at their peril.  Any person that will secure him
in the work-house of this city, shall have the above reward,
and all reasonable charges, paid by [signed] John Duffield.
