- This is an undated financial account of money owed by Georgia to Ambrose Day for printing and publishing sundry items. The materials enumerated include advertisements, newspapers and proclamations, and they were prepared by Day between October 1804 and August 1805. A January 1805 proclamation "respecting tresspassers [sic] on the lands south of the Oconee" ostensibly pertains to settlers illegally squatting on land belonging to the Creek Indians.
