IN THE LETTER, TH. KOLOKOTRONIS
asks the chieftains to give a detailed description of the enemy’s movements, recalls the glorious battles in the plain of Argos, in which he took part with Ni- kitas Stamatelopoulos, and encourages them, ad-
vising them to have persistence, magnanimity and bravery, virtues that will lead to the sealing of the Greeks’ freedom: «Be brave! Brothers, for the coun- try and faith; now is the beginning of our endeavour, now we are reborn».
