Ten Pounds Reward. Run away from the subscriber's
plantation, in Loudoun county, from James Whaley, overseer,
Tom, a Negro man slave, by some called Tom Salter, of a
middle size; and well made for strength, about 38 years old,
he has bad teeth, and many small pimples about his beard; he
can read, and play on the fiddle, and had a variety of
cloaths; but his common working dress, was died brown
cotton; he managed several years as an overseer for me,
under Capt. Robert Downman, at a plantation of mine on
Morattico creek, in Richmond county, where he always lived
until lately; he is a dissembling artful fellow, and
generally smiles when he speaks. I suspect he is lurking
about a plantation belonging to Charles Carter, Esq; in
Hanover county, at or near South Wales, where he has a wife
named Sebra, and perhaps at times about his old haunts at
Morattico. . . [6 lines, terms, signed] Henry Lee.
