Augusta Chronicle July 12, 1811
Georgia, Elbert County: That in the month of July 1810, the building of the 
common Jail in and for the county aforesaid, was let to the lowest bidder. I 
being the lowest and last bidder, the same was cried off on me; on which in 
compliance of the terms thereof, I gave my bond and security for the faithful 
discharge of the aforesaid work, according to the plan of said Jail as 
exhibited on view of the said day of letting(?) by the honorable the Inferior 
court of said county, and whereas I gave power to Thomas Oliver of said county, 
to act for me as clerk, and with authority to draw from the county funds or the 
officers holding the money to pay for said work as said court might direct any 
money for the building and carrying on said work, and also(?) did take the said 
Oliver, into partnership with myself, in the aforesaid work, and whereas since 
that, the said Thomas Oliver, has acted altogether contrary to my interest. --- 
I therefore and hereby forever revoke and declare that the aforesaid power 
given by me to him, to be forever null and void, as I shall in no wise abide by 
any settlement whatever forever null and void, as I shall in no wise abide by 
any settlement whatever that he may make with the aforesaid justices of said 
court or (on?) any of them; and hereby forwarn the said court from acting on 
any order or orders heretofore given by me to any person whatever, for that by 
the time stipulated in my bond, given to said court, for the compleating (sic) 
and delivery of said jail, I shall have the same ready according to the terms 
of said bond, and then shall make a legal demand for the money, I do forwarn 
the said court from paying of any money towards the building of said jail, to 
any person except myself, as I shall expect to receive it all on my delivering 
said jail. 

Nathaniel Statham.
