| Scope and Content | Miss Winifred M. Wyse (niece of Sir Thomas Wyse) to George Finlay. Bray, Co. Wicklow, 15 June 1864. Account of her Peloponnesian travels now in the press. Messages to Miss Grocott. Can George Finlay send her name of German scholar who opened theatre of Dionysos in 1862? George Finlay's kindness to her in Athens. State of Greece. |
| 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. |
