Candace and Vira

Run away from Lynde Lord and Julius Deming, two negro girls, one named Candace, and the other Vira, both about 22 years of age- Candace is a short thick wench, round faced- Vira is a tall strait wench of a yellow complexion; they each took a large bundle of clothes- all persons are forbid trusting or harboring either of them, on penalty of the law-the above named wenches were seen at New Haven last Wednesday- whoever will apprehend Candace & return her, shall be rewarded for their trouble. Lynde Lord, Julius Deming. Litchfield, Aug. 9, 1798.
