eyes, about eighteen years of age, writes a very good hand,
plays well on the fiddle, has a scar in his face, born in

There is reason to suspect that they either sold or
exchanged their regimental clothing. Whoever can give
information on that head so as to convict the person or
persons who bought or exchanged said clothing shall be
entitled to the said reward of two guineas. There being
likewise the strongest reason to suspect that the above
deserters either now are or intend to enter on board ship,
all masters of vessels or others are cautioned against
harbouring or concealing said deserter as they answer it at
their peril. [signed] J. Gunning, Lieut. Col. 82d Regt.
