23d inst. a handsome / active mulatto slave,
named Arch, about 21 years of age, /is slender
built and of middle stature, talks sensible and
artful, / but if closly [!] examined is apt to
tremble, has a ridge or scar on / the back of
his neck, about an inch long; had on, when he
went away, an old / country linen shirt and good
oznabrigs trowsers, an old grey kersey coat,
wornout at / the elbows - had no hat, shoes, or
other cloaths whatever, but he probably will /
steal others, he is a fast reaper and no doubt
will procure a sickle and endeavour /to pass as
a freeman. I will give the obove [J] reward if
the said fellow be taken / twenty miles or any
further distance from home, or half a dollar per
mile, for / any distance under, in case he be
secured in any gaol so that I get him again, and
if / brought home to me, living in Maryland,
near Frederick-town, all reasonable / charges. /
