Ref: "Records of the Virginia Company," at http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/collections/jefferson_papers/vc03.html There is posting on the web by the Library of Congress of the collected works in Pres. Thomas Jefferson’s personal library. Among the documents is a copy of the Records of the Virginia Company. Included in this volume is the petition of Richard Pace of Jamestown to Sir Francis Wyatt and members of the Council requesting re-establishment of his property, i.e., Pace’s Paines, after the Indian Massacre. The reader is directed to http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/collections/jefferson_papers/vc03.html There you may find your way to this document. You can save the document as a photo with a .gif extension. I have typed out a copy of the Pace paper. However, it is not possible to transmit the unique typeset, involving superscript letters which occur in some of the abbreviations. Presumably, it is important to note, these are the words of Richard Pace of Jamestown. p. 682 “CCLX Richard Pace Petition to the Governor and Council in Virginia Between October 1622, and January, 1622/3.” Manuscript Records Virginia Company, III, Part ii, Page 58 Document in Library of Congress, Washington, D.
