RUN away from the subscriber in Chesterfield , the Wednesday before Easter last, a bright mula to wench named JUDE, about 30 years old, is very remarkable, has lot one eye, but which I have forgot, has long black hair, a large fear on one of her elbows, and several other sears in her face, and has been subject to running away ever since she was ten yeas old. I have great reason to think she will pass for a free woman, and endeavour to make into South Carolina . She is very knowing about house business, can spin, weave, few, and iron, well. She had on when she went away her winter clothing, also a blue and white striped Virginia cloth gown, a Virginia cloth copperas and white striped coat, besides others too tedious to mention. whoever conveys the said slave to me shall be well rewarded for their trouble.
MARY CLAY .
