Lancaster, June 21, 1779. Fifty dollars reward. Ran away
from the subscriber last evening, the 20th instant, a Negro
man, named Dan, about 24 years of age, 5 feet 4 or 5 inches
high, much pitted with the small pox: his dress, when he
went off, is uncertain, as he took sundry cloaths with him,
amongst which are. . . [4 lines] Said Negro is fond of
playing the fiddle, and has a good deal of money with him,
which he acquired that way; no doubt he will be particular
in changing his dress, and endeavour to pass a freeman.
Whoever takes up and secures said slave in any goal, so that
his master may have him again, shall have the above reward,
and if delivered to me in Lancader [sic], one hundred
dollars. [signed] Christian Wirtz.
N.B. A white man is in company with said Negro, for which
there is a reward offered.
