Run away

--From the subscriber, in Fluvanna co, Va, on the 29th of May last; my man Mosers. He is near 6 feet high, black, rather slender, but large bone; one eye out, the right I believe; knock kneed and, turned somewhat to one side; scar on arm between elbow and shoulder, cut by a knife; coarse voice; had on jeans sack coat and mixed uniform pants. He may endeavor to pass as free and gone off with soldiers. I will give $100 if taken out of the State, or $50 in the State; or $45 if taken in Fluvanna, or any adjoining county to it. In either case to be delivered to me, or placed in jail so that I get him.

Geo W Pettit, Disto P O,
Fluvanna. Va. je 11--ecd13t*
