Twenty dollars reward.

--Left my farm, on Saturday, the 15th day of August, 1862. my boy, Billy. He is a dark mulatto, about 15 years of age, well grown; had on when he left a soldier's uniform. He is very likely, and has very full black eyes. I will pay $20 reward for his delivery to me in Richmond, or deposited in some jail, so that I can get him. It is very likely that he is lurking about Richmond, or is trying to get employment in some company as a free boy.

au 28--5t James M Taylor.
