7 Jul 1774:32 (1504)
On the second of this instant, a young man by the name of
Crosby, about 20 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches high, and
spare made; had on a light green cloth coat and ruffled
shirt, professes to play on instruments of music, has a turn
to singing, says he has been well-educated, and wants to get
into business; he hired of the subscriber a small black mare
to ride to the mouth of Patuxent, where he said he had
business of great importance with a gentleman on board Capt.
Eden's ship; he has returned from thence and has not
returned the mare; she paces naturally and very short,
stands straight, and runs fast: he showed a letter of
recommendation from one Ruggles of Boston: on enquiry I have
reason to believe that he has made off to Virginia. Whoever
will stop the mare and saddle shall have three pounds
reward, paid by [signed] William Edmons. w4.
