Had on and took with him one white nankeen waistcoat with sleeves striped, one pair buckskin trousers, one pair of Ruffia (Russia?) sheeting, one pair of chicksett breeches, new shoes lined and bound, a real beaver hat about half worn. He is stout made and walks very upright. Any person that will secure said apprentice in any jail so that I get him again shall receive $5 if within the District and $10 if without. I forewarn any person harboring or employing said apprentice and all masters and skippers of vessels from taking said apprentice away, as I am determined to prosecute any person that will act contrary to law.
