| Scope and Content | J. de Cigalla to George Finlay. Thera, 28 May 1845. Requests letter of recommendation to George Finlay's relatives at Constantinople, to use when visiting Constantinople and Vlachia (in Greek). With an old paper enclosure. |
| 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. |
