Williamsburg, September 2, 1757.  Ran away from the
subscriber, at Stratford, in Westmoreland County, on Sunday
the 28th of August, Charles Love, a tall thin man, about
sixty years of age; he professes music, dancing, fencing,
and plays extremely well on the violin and all wind
instruments;  he stole when he went away, a very good
bassoon, made by Schuchart, which he carried with him, as
also a Dutch or German fiddle, with an old hautboy and
German flute, which are his own; he rode a small white
horse, with a Virginia made saddle, and a coarse blue cloth
housing:  it is supposed he will make towards Charles-Town
in South-Carolina.  Whoever apprehends the said Love, and
brings him to me, in Stratford, shall have eight pounds
reward, if taken in Virginia; nine pounds if taken in
Maryland or North-Carolina, and ten pounds if taken any
where else on the continent. [signed] Philip Ludwell Lee.
