He was elated when\r\nPresident Wilson engaged him, though not happy over the $1,000 salary.\r\nYet with this sum to fall back on he borrowed $200, and took a trip to\r\nEngland.\nIn London he went treasure hunting, the treasure of old documents\r\nrelating to the history of colonial Virginia. He sought out the British\r\nPublic Record Office, off Chauncery Lane, and was soon immersed in the\r\nmass of letters, official reports, journal of the Assembly, and other\r\npapers.\nThe author was prepared to find valuable historical materials in London,\r\nfor he had spent the summer of 1908 studying the William Noel Sainsbury\r\nand the McDonald abstracts and transcripts of the documents in the\r\nRecord Office deposited in the Virginia State Library.
