Absented himself in April last, from his mistress's service,
a short thick Negro man named Cambridge, full thick cheeks,
flat nose, large nostrils, low forehead, about 38 years old:
had on a new ozenbrigs shirt and trowsers, light coloured
Pea jacket trimmed and lined with red, an old hat, but took
with him a very good new fashion bever hat; he is subject to
fits especially when cross or vexed; he has been in, and
about Frankford, until very lately, known by most people
there, and in town; he plays with a crooked stick and a
pipe in his mouth a sort of musick; he goes under pretext of
looking for work: all persons are hereby forewarned not to
imploy him; and if any one hath a mind to purchase him, they
may treat with his mistress on easy terms; or if any will
bring him home to his mistress in Chesnut-street near Mr.
Hamilton's, shall have ten shillings reward, paid by
[signed] Hannah Pugh.
N.B. He sometimes calls himself Abraham Brick.
