On page 142 of Kieran Doherty's book, *Sea Venture*, he writes that Sir Thomas Gates sailed to England in the Blessing on July 20, 1610. The date is repeated on page 287 of Ivor Noel Hume's *The Virginia Adventure*. I have not been able to find a source for this date. The latest date in William Strachy's letter is July 15, 1610, after which he reports no events. Does anyone know where I might find that source? (Both books are excellent, by the way. Mr. Doherty's is the best treatment I have read of the incident.) Tom Reedy
