Deserted: Ten Dollars Reward
                 TEN DOLLARS REWARD
   Deserted from this rendevouz, a soldier by the name of JESSEY PITMAN, born 
in the state of North Carolina, Edgecombe County,m six feet one inch high, 
dark complexion, grey eyes, dark hair -- he had on when he went away citizen's 
clothing. I do expect that he has gone down to Wilmington in order to get on 
board some vessel. All masters of vessels are requested not to ship him, or 
take him on baord as a passenger, or any pretense whatever, as he has received 
the bounty agreeable to him. Any person apprehending said deserter and will 
deliver him up to me, shall receive fifteen dollars and the delivery of said 
deserter to any other officer in the service of the United States shall 
receive the above reward of ten dollars.
                    J. FERGUS, LIEUT.
   Commanding Recruiting Rendezvoous
