The descriptions by Frethorne and Farrer about life in Virginia are very different.

Triss [41]

Virginia was the largest and populous colony in within the 13 American colonies. A myriad number of the people living in this colony were farmers, planters, and merchants. A majority of the population were African American who worked in fields for their white masters.

In Frethorne's experiences of an indentured servant, he gives firsthand accounts of his life. He tells that he got off a ship and had never ate anything but peas and loblolly. They had to work hard in order to eat. The treatment they received was horrible. The only clothes he had was a poor suit, two rags, one pair of shoes, one stocking, one cap and two collars.

Farrer gives firsthand accounts of the way they lived in the middle colonial period. They had all kinds of fruits, meats, and vegetables. The passengers would be shipped home in 20 to 30 days. There were ships that brought commodities such as clothes, stockings, and linens. They had several churches. In the middle colonial period, the passengers of the ships were healthier, lived longer, and were provided with everything they needed to live a healthy life.

Basically, their descriptions were absolutely different.
