Two hundred Dollars reward.

--For the delivery of Nelson to my overseer at Colly Swamp, in Hanover, or to me. I will give one hundred dollars if taken in the limits of the county, or two hundred if taken out of the county. He is 5 feet 9 inches high, 31 years old, very dark, with small eyes, (sometimes sore,) and has lost part of one of his forefingers. He may be in Richmond, or making his way to the enemy's lines.

E. Fontaine,
Beaver dam, April 25, 1864. ap 21--6t*
