Scope and content
'Susan Yacht', 'off Preveza' added in pencil. - Encloses letter [no longer present] from Sir Frederick Adam. Asks Meyer whether he and his companions [Meredith and Clay] will have to enter quarantine at Athens and Napoli [Napflion] if they land here; the authorities at Corfu were unable to inform them. They may be 'tempted to undergo it for the considerations of seeing the Turkish army, & being presented to so great a man as a Grand Vizier, & of travelling some little way into Albania'. Asks if they could reach Yanina [Ioannina] and Zitza [Zitsa]. Adds postscript asking where the Vizier is currently, and whether the road to Yanina is safe.
