Whereas Cambridge, _a Negro Man belonging to_ James Oliver _of_ Boston
_doth absent himself sometimes from his Master: SAID NEGRO PLAYS WELL UPON
A FLUTE, AND NOT SO WELL ON A VIOLIN. This is to desire all Masters and
Heads of Families not to suffer said Negro to come into their Houses to
teach their Prentices or Servants to play, nor on any other Accounts. All
Masters of Vessels are also forbid to have anything to do with him on any
Account, as they may answer it in the Law.
N.B. Said Negro is to be sold: Enquire of said_ Oliver.
