Matrimonial Export g.

In the early days of Virginia, when
the adventurers were mostly unmar-
ried men, it was deemed necessary to
export such women as could be pre-.
vailed upon to leave England as wives
for the planters A letter accompany
ing one of the matrimonial ships,
dated London, August ~, 1921, says
1--WE send you in the ship, one
widow and eleven maids, as wives for
the people of Virginia; there hath
been especial care taken in the choice
OF them, for there hath not one of
them been received but upon good
recommendations There are fifty
more that are ready to go. For the
reimbursing of charges, it is ordered
that every man that marries them give
one hundred pounds Of best leaf to-
bacco for each of them"
