Ran away

--$100 reward.--Ran away from "Wakefield," the farm in Hanover next adjoining Mr. Geo W Doswell's, on Monday, the 9th instant, a negro man named Jim. Said negro is of dark complexion, 5 feet 8 or 10 inches high, about 23 years old, and has a defect in his right eye. He was dressed in grey clothes, and had on either boots or wooden bottomed yellow shoes. Before leaving he spoke of going to the Junction to get with our army, and I especially request quartermasters and wagon-masters on the lines of the Central or Fredericksburg Railroads to keep a look-out for him. I will pay the above reward for his apprehension and delivery in the jail at Hanover Court House, so that I get him again; or to myself in Richmond.

B W Richardson,
Ex't of Mrs. Judith Smith, dec'd. fe 11--d5t&swat*
