Twenty Dollars reward.

--I will give the above reward for the apprehension of two negro men, Wesley and Ellyson. I expect that they have been pressed in some hospital as nurses. If such is the case, I will pay the reward if they are sent home. The men are grave diggers, and their services are very much needed. I forewarn all persons from harboring the above slaves.

John Redford,

Keeper of Oakwood Cemetery,

Oakwood Cemetery, July 14, 1862. jy 15--3t*
