Five pounds reward.  Ran away from the subscriber, living in
Philadelphia, on Saturday the 20th of April, a servant lad,
named George Michael Keller, born in Germany, is a baker by
trade, 18 years of age, 5 feet high, of a fresh complexion,
squints a little with one eye, has a small hollow, like a
pock mark, on his left cheek, is short stepped in his walk: 
Had on, and took with him. . . [7 lines] he is very
talkative, and it is supposed that he received about four
pounds in cash on his master's account:  Took also with him
a hymn-book, wherein is wrote his master's name, with the
date of the year 1763.  It is suspected that he was decoyed
away by a certain lewd fellow with whom he frequently kept
company.  Whoever takes up and secures said servant, so that
his master may have him again, shall have the above reward,
and reasonable  charges, paid by [signed] Jacob Shepack.
