January
1831:
Letty's husband helps her escape from Hagerstown
$20
Reward.
Ran away from Hagerstown about a month ago, a negro woman named Letty,
aged 40--has projecting teeth; and a sallow, wild, unhealthy look; much
addicted to intemperance; and is partially deranged when drunk--has a dress
of new crossbar linsey.
She
was decoyed away by her husband; who is a short, bandy legged old man,
with a sore mouth and a high forehead--loves whiskey. $20 will be given
for information respecting them.
J.
Reynolds.
Hagerstown, Feb. 1
