A previously unnoticed account of the end of the Virginia Company can be 
found in Sir Thomas Wentworth's letter of 17th June, 1624. He told Christopher 
Wandesford that "Yesterday [the]  Virginia Patent was overthrown at the 
[Court of] King's Bench, so an end of that Plantation's Saving. Methinks the 
Quaternity have before this had a Meeting of Comfort and Consolation, stirring 
each other up to bear it couragiously, and Sir Edwin Sandes in the midst of 
them, sadly sighing forth, Oh the Burden of Virginia !" (Knowler, Volume 1, 
page 21)
