Runaway

--Let my farm, on the 13th instants Negro man, named Telemachus. He is stout built, about six feet high, very bright mulatto, with curly hair and look with him several suits of clothes. He belong to Mr. Theophilus Tafem, shout two mile in the city, and may be lurking about the neighborhood or near Edna Mills, in Charles City county, where he was formerly hired. I will pay Ten Dollars for his delivery at my farm, in the airborne Turnpike, about five miles below the city onto myself in Richmond.
