Date: August 9 1739

Newspaper published in: Philadelphia, PA

Run away from the subscriber, in Cecil County in Maryland, the 18th day of this instant, a servant man named John BROWN, (but it's suppos'd he will change his name) he is a tall lusty fellow, aged about 21 years, has short brown hair much curled, and is of a fair or rather a sandy complexion; had on a light colour'd kersey coat and leather breeches, and carried with him cloaths of several sorts, and a large trotting bay horse with a bob tail.

Whoever secures the said servant so that his Master may have him again, shall have two pistoles reward more than the law allows where he is taken, and reasonable charges paid by James Paul HEATH.
