Transcription
Ran Away from the Subscriber, the 21st of March, 1785 TWO NEGROES, viz. one thin black Fellow, about 5 feet and a half high, very sensible, can read & write, his name Scipio, but stiles himself Scipio Jenkins, the other a stout squat made fellow Mustee Fellow, plays the violin, very sensible named Sam, but when he absconded once before, he called himself David Evans; they are both handy fellows at the carpenter's business & speak proper. Whoever apprehends the said Fellows and delivers them to Major John Postell, in Charleston or to the Subscriber at Winyaw, or three guineas for each.

George Pawley, Sen.
