Transcription
Ran away, from the Subscriber, a NEGRO MAN, named SAM, about 40 years of age, strong and well made, an excellent sawyer, understands plantation business and stowing of vessels. I expect he is gone into Calvert County. I will sell him for Four Thousand Weight of Tobacco. Apply to Mr. Francis King, or
EDWARD JOHNSON.
