[6] Fuller information, gained from the military letters of Biard and Masse, shows that the treatment referred to was connected with an occupation of the same location, by the English, in the year after the Popham Colony had departed.—Reports, edited by Carayon.
[7] Briefe Relation.
[8] For the date of Popham's death, we have followed Foss rather than Campbell. The latter fixes the date as June 1, 1607, only one day after the colonists sailed. Campbell has fallen into a mistake in making Popham's age seventy-two; for Campbell himself, and the other authorities, give the date of his birth as 1531.
Transcriber's Notes:
Obvious typographical errors were repaired, but older style spellings retained.
Hyphenation variants were resolved to most frequently used.
