RAN AWAY from the subscriber on the 24th instant,
A Mulatto Girl,
Named ABBY, or BABBY—She was born in Richmond, Virginia,
and has been raised in this country. She speaks French
or Creole, very well ; and it is difficult to discover by the way
she speaks that she is not a creole born.
She took away with her a muslin musqueto nett [sic] and two
sheets, believed to be cotton ; I believe two gowns, one of seersucca,
and the other of Gingham ; and no shoes.
DESCRIPTION.—She is stout, rather slovenly in her actions,
and has something of a bashful manner. She speaks with ease,
but not much—has large feet.
10 Dollars Reward,
Will be given for apprehending and delivering her to the undersigned,
with all reasonable charges.
Masters and commanders of ships, vessels and other water craft
[sic], are warned against harbouring, concealing or carrying
her off, under the penalty of the law.
VICTOIRE MASTINEAU. [VECTOIRE MASTENEAU.]
