Transcription
Ran away, from GEORGE FRENCH, Esq., to whom he was hired, a young Negro man named SHARPER, about 5 ft. high, of a slender make and marked on the black of the right shoulder with IE; he is a complete waiting-man and barber, and had on when he went away a pompadour coat, with frogs of the same colour. It is probable that he may attempt to pass as free, having already under an imposition of that kind taken a cruize in one of his Majesty's ships of war, by the name of Tom Jones. JAMES ELFORD.
