He had on when he went away an oznabrigs shirt and striped country cloth overhalls[sic].  There is a probability that he has by some means obtained a pass.  Any person who will deliver him to me, in Rockingham county, on Haw River, or secure him in any gaol, so that I get him again, shall be handsomely rewarded.
