30 Apr 1776:2202 (2/199)
April 13, 1776.  Eight Dollars Reward.  Ran away from the
subscriber, on the evening of the fifth instant, an English
servant boy, named John Mitford, about fifteen years of age,
. . . It is supposed his great fondness for fifing has
induced him to go off, having done so once before for which
he was forgiven, and once with his former master.  He will,
in all probability, endeavour to get to some of the back or
lower counties, or Maryland, to engage himself in that way,
as he has taken a fife with him.
. . . [16 lines on clothes worn and reward terms]
[signed Francis Wade.
