FREDERICKSBURG, October 9, 1770. RUN away from the subscriber last Saturday night, an indented servant man named JOHN FLETCHER; he is an Englishman, by trade a tanner, about 25 years of age, 6 feet high, short brown hair, his left leg has a very large sore on it, which may be easily discovered by the stain through his trowsers, and has a very bad smell when nigh him; his apparel is a light coloured frize coat, with broad white metal buttons, a blue frize jacket, a check shirt, oznabrig trowsers, with buckskin breeches under them, a felt hat, and country made shoes almost new, with pewter buckles in them; he is fond of liquor, and playing cards. Whoever apprehends the said servant, and brings him to me in Fredericksburg, shall have THREE POUNDS reward, and reasonable charges; if taken and secured in any gaol so as I get him again, shall have FORTY SHILLINGS reward, paid by WILLIAM HOUSTON.
