Note 17 — A. SOUTHERN COLONIES TO 1660 (continued 2)
Reading edition
The entry in the Records of the Company (I, 335) speaks of this gift "for some good uses in Virginia."
In 1622, "a person not willinge as yet to be knowne" sent £25 "to helpe forward the 'East India' Schoole." I count up twelve entries of such gifts in three years' Records. In 1623 the Company reported that in the past four years there had been contributed "towards the forwardinge of this glorious Worke, ... presents to the value of fifteen hundred pounds, by zealous and devoute Persons, most of them refusing to be named."
