Arvin - Wm- runs away - Putnam

William Arvin, an indentured apprentice to me to the farming business left my premises in Franklin Township, Putnam County, Indiana on Monday the 15th day of July 1861 without my consent and contrary to my will and wish. Now, this is for the purpose of forewarning the public not to harbor or credit said Arvin as I will enforce the law against such person or persons and will in no case be responsible for any debts he may contract after this date – James Baker
