Run away from the subscriber last night, a NEGRO LAD, named FRANK, about nineteen years old, a likely well made fellow, rather short---it is supposed he has on a blue broadcloth Coat, but may change it as he took sundry other Coats and small Cloathing with him---he formerly belonged to Mr. Alexander Hunt, and went off in company with a white Boy, about 16 years old, named George Graves.---Whoever will takek up said Negro and return him to the subscriber, shall be paid Ten Dollars, and all resonable charges. Ebenezer Platt. Hartford, September 10, 1783.
