| Scope and Content | Miss Blackler to George Finlay. n.d. Thanks George Finlay for sending Saturday Review with article on modern poetry. She values his 'delightful note' with his autograph more than anything she has seen in Athens. |
| 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. |
