Ran away on the 19th of this instant September, from his
master John Johnson of Boston, jack-maker, a Negro man
servant named Jo, about 23 years of age, a likely fellow,
who had on when he went away, a dark coloured fly coat, with
flat white metal buttons, a swan skin double breasted
jacket, leather dear-skin breeches, a pair of high heel'd
thick soled shoes. He can play on the flute, has a scar on
his upper lip, and speaks good English. Whoever shall take
him up, and deliver him to his said master, shall have ten
pounds reward, old tenor, and all reasonable charges paid.--
All masters of vessels and others, are hereby cautioned
against harbouring, concealing, or carrying off said Negro,
as they will avoid the penalty of the law.
