Dear colleagues:

Well, that was a thoroughly incorrect URL, wasn't it?

I thought I had copied the URL from Emily's message of 4 September, but  
obviously I hadn't.  Sorry!

Here's the correct URL for the corrected page:

http://memory.loc.gov/learn/features/timeline/colonial/jamestwn/ 
jamestwn.html

Apologies for the diversion.
