Jamestown Letter


November 19, 1608


Dear Queen Elizabeth,  


Your Majesty, sure you would want to know what is happening here in Jamestown as you financed it. I have very pivotal information for you; I wanted to tell you about our journey coming here to Jamestown. First of all I would like you to know that we are the first permanent settlers in Jamestown, we all want riches but there was a big problem.
Finding an imperative solution is what we needed Mam. A guy named John Smith had an idea. “He who does not work does not eat”. We paid for our slaves so they could work for us. They are making all of us to look for food gingerly. We all hope we could find some food everyday so we could eat.
A very important person is John Rolfe; he started and encouraged the first cash crop, the tobacco. The House of Burgesses was the first example of a representative government. One of the representatives was Burges; he didn’t have things planned and was very spontaneous. He always had a sour disposition and getting worried for small problems. A lot of people thought he was very guile even my self, but the way the Jamestown colony has improved I don’t think that anymore. This is what happened in Jamestown since we settled here, please send me a response as soon as possible.

George

My Killer Servant



     I knew it; I knew he hated my eye, each and every moment he gingerly came into my room trying to poke my eye while I simulated asleep. The only reason I knew he was there was because every 30 minutes he would get dehydrated and get some water to drink. He was a mad man but he did take care of me, the minute I got glaucoma he stopped caring and started hating my eye. I always thought he would kill me earlier by electrifying me. He always carried a full inventory of knifes, hammers, and revolvers.
     Every night at 12 sharp he used to come to my room and try to kill me or try to break my eye. At first it was very scary but after a while knew it was him and what he was trying to do. He never tried to kill me in a cursory; he liked to do it slowly. Day by day it just became spookier, there was one day where I cladded my self before going to sleep so if he tried to stab me, there wouldn’t be much damage.
     There were many times when he tried to stab me or hurt me but it failed but once stabbed me in the leg, soon an abrasion came by time.  He was endeavoring to kill me or hurt me, he never succumbed. Every night he would give me  gruesome, knowing that he would be standing by my door every night. I was  hundred percent sure he was trying to kill me so i went to all my close my neighbor. They all corroborated by telling me they saw a man enter my room every night.
     My neighbors surmised something was wrong so they all called the police, but by that time he already killed me, he already stabbed me till I made a grimace he wanted.
