_Vice Consulship of Spain for the States of North Carolina,
South Carolina, and Georgia._
Messrs. Nicholas Johnston and Co.
_Gentlemen,_
His Excellency Lieut. Colonel Don Vincent Folch, Governor of
the Province of West Florida, in a letter, dated Panzacola,
1st August, has been pleased to communicate to me the
following:
"I have issued a proclamation, offering FOUR THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS to any person who will deliver here, or in
_Apalache_, the body of WILLIAM AUGUSTUS BOWLES, or else
produce sufficient proof of having killed him; which
information I will thank you to make public, in order that
some clever fellow, at the cheap rate of one gun shot, will
place in his pocket the said sum, which shall be paid, with
the greatest acknowledgment of gratitude, in good Spanish
dollars, without the least delay."
Therefore I request you to give this a conspicuous place in
your paper. It is, doubtless, a very interesting subject to
_Spain_, _America_ and the Indians, that they be rid of this
noted vagabond.
I remain, with respect,
Your obedient servant,
EMANUEL RENGILL.

WE the subscribers, encouraged by a large subscription, do
promise to pay One Hundred Dollars for every hostile Indian's
scalp, with both ears to it,[B] taken between this date and
the 15th day of June next, by any inhabitant of Alleghany
county.

[B] The shape of the ears, we suppose, is to determine the
enmity of the Indian.
