Transcription: 100 Dollars Reward. RAN away from the Subscriber, on the 10th December last, his negro man TOM, who s'vles[sic] himself Thomas Bryan,--he is about 38 or 40 years of age, about five feet six inches high, dark complexion, rather thick set, has a broad face, is inclined to be bald, can read well, is a House Carpenter by trade, and generally smiles when spoken to. Had on when left, a new drab coloured cloth round jacket, hat and pantaloons of same colour, a little worn.
