Trouble and Conflict

After additional negotiations and other problems with food. We have lost control of the land. The natives are being incompetent and we need to sail back otherwise we risk starving to death. Sir Raleigh will be very disappointed to find out we failed to colonize. Since we have legal control of the land in England. Sir Grenville believe Sir Raleigh will fund another voyage to try to seize control of the land. we have been living off of leaves and many of the crew have grown frail. The natives have not shown any violence but have treated us inhumanely. I have grown to recognize the beauty of the land and feel ashamed that the horrendous natives have control over it. We are planning to leave the land this afternoon and we plan to provide a very harsh report of the people to Sir Raleigh.
