Virginia
1611, November 14.Printed certificate of receipt by Sir Thomas Smith Treasurer of Virginia, from Viscount Cranborne of 251 "for his adventures towards the said voyage." Lord Cranborne is to have his full rateable part of such lands, etc, as shall be recovered, planted and inhabited, and of such mines and minerals of gold, silver and other metals or treasure, pearls, precious stones, merchandise, etc, as shall be obtained in the said voyage. 14 November, 1611. "Sealed in the presence of Edward Mayer."

John Richardson to Thomas Wilson
[? 1611] November 20.He cannot give Wilson the information he writes for without copies of the last and the former inquisitions.
He is counsel for one Wright against Sir Nathaniel Bacon "of our country", who has procured a grant of Wright's wardship. Upon evidence given in the country last summer, the jury offered a verdict against the King, whereupon the escheator bound over some of them to appear in the Court of Wards tomorrow to rehear the evidence. He is told a grievous complaint was made against him to my Lord of Salisbury for miscarrying himself in giving evidence in the country, and that my Lord is so incensed that he will himself sit tomorrow in the Court and fall very heavily upon him; and he is advised not to be there. The accusation is most false, and to withdraw himself would argue guilt. It may be there is no such matter, but that it is a trick put upon him. Begs Wilson to learn whether there is any complaint against him, whether my Lord will sit or no, and if a complaint is made, to say what course he may take to give my Lord satisfaction. Lincoln's Inn, 21 Nov.
