Excerpt from A True Relation of Virginia
The writer of the preface says, that somewhat more was by him [the author] written, which being, as I thought, fit to be private, I would not aduenture to make it publicke, &c. What was the nature of the writing here referred to can only be conjectured nor is it evident why it was deemed necessary to announce, that matter fit to be private had been omitted. It is not improbable, that Smith - who for a long time had lain under suspicion with some of the members of the council, and who differed in his views of policy from many in authority, and from Captain Newport no less than from others - did not hesitate to comment freely on measures which he could not approve; and he may have written in pri vate to a friend something which it was not deemed politic to publish. If any thing fell from his pen one half as caustic as his letter to the Treasurer and Councell of Virginia, written a few months later, but not printed till sixteen years afterward, and then by himself in the Generall Historie (pp. 70 no one can wonder that it was deemed best, in this early and critical period of the colony's history, to suppress it.
