Run away
--From my residence, on 27th December, 1863, my negro man Sheirick; he is about twenty- five years old, of a gingerbread color, has a scar on his face, is about six feet high, and wears his hair very long and plaited, and is knock kneed. I will give a reward of fifty dollars for his return to me in Chesterfield county, Va, or $25 if lodged in jail, so that I can get him. Hezekiah Rudd. ja 4--6t
