 Baltimore solicited a new charter from the king . In order to found an alternative colony in a less hostile climate further south , he requested " a precinct " in Virginia , where he could grow tobacco . He wrote to his friends Francis Cottington and Thomas Wentworth enlisting their support for this new proposal , admitting the impression his abandonment of Avalon might make in England : " I shall <unk> a great deal of <unk> and discourse and be <unk> by most men of <unk> and <unk> [ sic ] " . The king , perhaps guided by Baltimore 's friends at court , replied expressing concern for Baltimore 's health and gently advising him to forget colonial schemes and return to England , where he would be treated with every respect : " Men of your condition and breeding are <unk> for other <unk> than the framing of new plantations , which commonly have rugged & laborious beginnings , and require much greater <unk> , in managing them , than usually the power of one private subject can reach <unk> " .
