Description 9.5 x 11 in., dated at Stephen's Ferry, Greenbrier Co., Va., October 20, 1829, printed at Lewisburg, Va., with bold heading RANAWAY, and a description of the slave, Daniel, who escaped three days prior, and the promise of a liberal reward for his capture. Signed in print, Robert Stephen. Daniel is described as six feet tall, upwards of 35 years old, with thick lips, remarkably broad feet, and a remarkably soft and effeminate voice. He formerly worked in the Kanawha Salines, so his master writes that "it is quite probable he is lurking in that neighborhood, or on his way to Ohio."
