Transcription

RUN-AWAY from the subscriber, a short but square set elderly Negro man, named NOKO, who is very handy in the use of carpenters tools, and as a waiting-man; he has a remarkable large wart on one of his shoulders, plays on the violin, and belonged formerly to Mr. Brownwell, dancing-master. He has been lately in Charles-Town; and as he is a good boat-man, it is probable he may associate with some of the island Negroes who frequent the markets. _____ Whoever will take him up, and deliver him to Messrs. CORRIE & CARSANS, in Charlestown, or to me at Ponpon, shall receive Five Pounds reward.

JOSEPH GLOVER

July 1, 1767.
