This assignment asks you to look at the lives of indentured servants in Virginia. You have three primary sources for information. One is a letter from 1623 and another is a court document from 1684. You also have examples of typical labor contracts from the period. Using information from a careful reading of the documents and your knowledge about indentured servitude and social developments in 17th century Virginia, answer each question in a well-organized paragraph (maybe two).

Examples of labor contracts for back ground are here:
