Pennsbury, Chester County, April 7, 1776
Whereas my wife MARY MUNKS (about 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, black hair, dark 
eyes, brown complexion, thin visage, one eye larger than the other) hath eloped 
from my bed and board, with a certain FRANCIS BLOOMER, an Irishman; they have 
taken with them several articles of my property, therefore this is to forbid all 
persons trustin her on my account, for I will pay no debt of her contracting 
after this date; the said Francis Bloomer is about 5 feet 8 inches high, a well 
set man, dark brown hair, mostly tied behind, a cut down his forehead that 
always looks red, with a scar on his right cheek, had on a blue coat, brown 
jacket, old buckskin breeches, &c. Whoever apprehends and secures him in any 
goal so that he may be brought to justice, shall have a reward of Five 
Shillings, paid by THOMAS MUNKS.
