| Scope and Content | Thomas Gordon to George Finlay. Nea Patra, 15 September 1835. re expedition against bandits in Roumeli with Turkish co-operation. Ironical comments on Gen. Church sitting in Patissia leading 'the life of Nebuchadnezzar'. Note of greeting added by C. Soutzo. |
| Notes | Greece was one of the last European countries to adopt the newer Gregorian calendar. For most of the nineteenth century, the Julian calendar was 12 days behind the Gregorian. British correspondents in the Finlay Collection tend to use the newer calendar. Letters with two dates 12 days apart, eg. 24 April / 6 May 1828, refer to both the Julian and Gregorian calendars. |
