Scope and Content Athens, 28 November 1835. Has sent geographical notes on Aetolia by courtesy of Sir Edmund Lyons. Conjectures whether Vardousi or Ghiona could be identified as Korax. Visit planned to Artotina, Thermos, etc. Gordon winters in Morea and has been succeeded by Pisa. George Finlay cannot visit Acarnania as volunteer as philhellenes are in disrepute and regarded as raving republicans. Armansperg and Frey know nothing of Greek people. Land not cultivated. Essential to establish local government (with sketch map of mountains). With a later note asking if this isn't FIN/GF/B/7/7 displaced in the 'repairing.'
