Archivist's note
The document was found placed after the letter dated 25 December 1883. Judging from the content (title of knighthood granted to Konstantinos Zervoudakis, reference to the content of a previous letter), it is concluded that the letter is most likely in the correct sequence. In any case, the item may be dated as to the year.
