Run away from the subscriber in Charles City county, the
14th of April last, a Virginia born Negro fellow named
Peter, about 44 years of age, of a black complexion, a slim
fellow, his teeth out before as if broke off, and is a sly
artful rogue if not watched; he carried with him sundry
clothes, such as crop Negroes usually wear, also a white
Virginia cloth waistcoat and petticoat, a tarlton plaid
gown, and sundry other of his wife's clothes. He also
carried away a gun of an uncommon large size, and a fiddle,
which he is much delighted in when he gets any strong drink,
which he is remarkably fond of, and then very talkative and
impudent. I suspect he is gone to Amelia county, to Mr.
Tanner's . . . [9 lines, signed] William Gregory.
