Finlay, George |
Scope and Content | Athens, 18 July 1836. Sends a plan of Hieron of Juno [Temple of Hera] near Mycenae made by Robertson, General Gordon's secretary. Armansperg's plans for reorganizing army. His use of frontier klefts as captains; they now shake hands with A, an honour George Finlay never had, though a major, 'which is not my fault as I have twice sent my resignation which the king will not accept'. Increased taxes and discontented peasantry. |
