Transcription

RUN away from my plantation in Saint Mark's parish, a negro man named London , a Bricklayer by trade; he did formerly belong to the late Mr. Thomas Life, deceased, and served his time to Mr. Horbeck in Charles-Town, where he has worked ever since, until lately, and where he is well known: As he has lately been frequently seen in town, I have reason to believe, that he is harboured by some person in it.—Whoever will apprehend the said negro man London , and deliver him to me, or the Warden of the Work-house, shall receive Ten Pounds reward. And any person who will give me information, by whom he is harboured or employed, shall receive Twenty Pounds, upon conviction of the offender.

THOMAS FARR
