Congratulations on being appointed to the Board of Governors of the Virginia Company. It is a great honor to be appointed by the king. The work of settling America is extremely important to His Majesty, and I am sure you will be great at your new job.

As you know, John Smith has written us a letter explaining some of the problems of the colony in Jamestown.

I am sure you and your new partners will be able to set the situation right. Your life may depend on it. I don't need to remind you what happened to the board member you are replacing!

I have attached John Smith's letter.

Yours Truly,

Thomas Egerton

Lord Chancellor to King James
