Tobacco
June 13, 2007
We wanted to go and see what the settlers have all done since we have left Jamestown. So we went on a walk over to Jamestown. When we got there we saw even more of the houses built and more of the fence was up but in done yet, and this only a couple of days since we last came and saw their town.
But this time I brought over some tobacco, and I was smoking it. They were asking me what it was and where they could get some. All I said was it is tobacco and we grow it. They asked if they could have some too. So we gave some of it to them and some of the plants to grow some. So they got some crops and started to plant some. They said that they could take could this tobacco to different places and sell it for a lot of money, and that they would get rich. It seems like all they care about is money.

Dear Powhatan, don’t you and your people yet see the value and pleasure money can give you? But I do agree that many of the men here are to worried about the purse’s contents and not worried enough about the other things in life. Money can be a good and helpful thing as long as you don’t make it so that your whole life revolves around it.
