Can anyone confirm the financial statement of AL Rowse:
"The Virginians gave them [the Pilgrims] every encouragement. They got
their patent to settle, the company approved their plan, declared the thing
was of God, and, what was more important, loaned them £300 out of its
exiguous resources."
Rowse, A. L. "The Elizabethans and America: Part III
New England in the Earliest Days
before Plymouth Colony There Was Sagadahoc, the Short-Lived Settlement for
Which Sir Ferdinando Gorges Had High Hopes." American Heritage 10, no. 5
(1959).
