Transcription

Run away on Sunday June 27, a negro fellow belonging to the estate of Barnaby Brandford, named Abraham; he is a carpenter by trade, and carried away some of his tools with him; he is sensible and crafty and may endeavor to get employment. I do hereby forewarn all persons from employing or harbouring the said fellow, and I will give a reward of Fifty Pounds to any person who will give information of his being harboured by a white person, and Twenty Pounds if by a negro; a further reward of Twenty Pounds will be paid on his being delivered to the Warden of the Work house or the subscriber near Dorchester.
