Isn't this part of the series of documents published by the Virginia Historical Society in the 1880s? I can't recall offhand what might be in volume 8, but I know that this was the series that included the Dinwiddie papers and the Spotswood letters. I believe it also included extended excerpts from the Records of the Virginia Company (LC - Jefferson Papers series (8) ) edited either by Brock or Conway Robinson. There were other volumes as well.

The citation is to "Va. Hist. Collections, vol. 8, p. 278." We've not been able to identify the source referred to--it isn't the Calendar of Virginia State Papers, or the Virginia Historical Register and it isn't Howe's Historical Collections of Virginia . We're stumped. I'm sure we're overlooking something painfully obvious. Any suggestions (to me at [log in to unmask]) would be greatly appreciated.
