His time sketching
The 'evils and unfortunate events' that ruined his American hopes
The beautiful landscape of Roanoke Island

Answer

Following the abandonment of the Roanoke colony, White returned to Raleigh's estates in Ireland where he reflected on the'evils and unfortunate events' that had ruined his American hopes. He wrote a lengthy letter to Raleigh, which was published in 1590, detailing the circumstances that led to the colony's failure.
