The text of the article, "100 reward for apprehending and putting to jail, John and Julia, two slaves who ran away from the subscriber living in Kentucky, Boone County, on Tuesday the first inst. JOHN is a low thich Negro, about 35 or 40 years of age-had on when he went away a yellow and blue mixt Factory Coat and a white fur had; however, it is probable he may change his cloths, as he had other cloths with him when he went away. He is a very black Negro and has on one of his shoulders a remarkable scar, occasioned by a white swelling some years ago.
JULIA is about 18 or 20 years of age, not altogether so black as the fellow: had several suits of clothing with her when she went away, and it is not known what she may now wear. She is well shaped but not tall, and has large breasts, she is both sensible and polite in her address she lisps at times when she is questioned. If taken in Indiana or Ohio state and put in Jail so I can get them again, I will give the above reward, or I will give 150 dollars for delivering them to me at my house in the county of Boone as above, or half that sum if taken on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River, or in proportion for either of them.
JOSEPH GRAVES, sen. 24th June, 1819."
