WHereas Negro Joe, who formerly lived with Samuel Ogle, Esq; when Governor of Maryland, as his Cook, about 13 Months ago ran away from the Subscriber (who was then at Annapolis), and has since been on a Voyage in one of the Privateers belonging to Philadelphia, and is since returned thither. These are to desire any Person who can apprehend the said Negro, so as he may be had again, so to do; for which, on acquainting me therewith, they shall be rewarded with the Sum of Five Pounds Current Money. Or if the said Negro will return to me at my House in St. Mary’s County, he shall be kindly received, and escape all Punishments for his Offence. PHILIP KEY
