| Scope and Content | Peter Wilhelm Forchhammer to George Finlay. Nauplia, 31 August 1833. Criticism of dictatorial ways and political ignorance of Mr. Franz. Has journeyed through Peloponnese. Hopes to obtain British Admiralty map of Greek coastal waters. 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. |
