Run away from the subscriber in
Albemarle, a Mulatto slave called
Sandy, about 35 years of age, his
stature is rather low,
inclining to corpulence, and his complexion light; he is a shoemaker by trade, in which
he uses his left hand principally, can do coarse carpenters work, and is something of a
horse jockey; he greatly addicted to drink, and when drunk is insolent and disorderly,
in his conversation he swears much, and in his behaviour is artful and knavish. He took
with him a white horse much scarred with traces, of which it is expected he will
endeavor to dispose; he also carried his shoemaker tools, and will probably endeavor to
get employment that way. Whoever conveys the said slave to me, in
Albemarle, shall
have 40 s. reward, if taken up within the county, 4 l. if elsewhere within the colony, and
10 l. if any other colony, from
THOMAS JEFFERSON.
