L. on one of his hands, very dull; He is a blacksmith by trade, and was imported in the ship Rachel, Capt. Armstrong, in the year 1750. Whoever secures the said run-away, so that I may have him again, shall have two pistole reward if taken up in Virginia, and five pistole if taken in any other province, paid by William Taliaferro.
