Transcript: Twenty-five Dollars Rward.

Ran away from the subscriber on Saturday the 12th, instant, a NEGRO WOMAN, named Nance, about twenty years old, a yellow and rough skin, short and thick, she can read, and write a tolerable good hand, and is probable she may have forged a pass for herself. She wore a white Leghorn bonnet, and took with her a variety of clothing, so that her dress cannot be described. The above reward and all reasonable expenses shall be paid any person who may apprehend said wench, and return her, or secure her so that her master may get her again.
