Transcription
Tower-Hill Pen, Sep 20, 1811 Runaway about six weeks ago, a creole Negro Man, named DUKE, a carpenter, 5 feet 6 inches high, marked DC, in one, on his right shoulder, and has lost the nails of his thumbs: He was employed in selling grass [Guinea grass ?] in Kingston, and was lately seen going towards Old-Harbour, where he has some relations. Also, within two weeks, JOE and CHARLES: Joe is an Angola, and marked the same as Duke; Charles has only his country marks; both had chains and collars when they went away. […] A. P. DA COSTA
