Letter from Archibald Campbell to Brian Houghton Hodgson, 30 April 1873

Scope and Content

Letter from Archibald Campbell to Brian Houghton Hodgson in which he writes that they had had a long day at the Exhibition on the previous day and at 5 o'clock had decided to go home rather than to Hodgson's. Campbell writes he cannot find any authoritative document on the abolition of the Commercial Treaty with Nepal but from memos is under the impression that Britain has no commercial agreement whatever sanctioned by Treaty and suggests the sooner one is made the better. Taylor's lecture was well 'got up'. Campbell wishes that he and Hodgson might both see the paper that Halliday is supposed to have written. Handwritten, 1 piece, 4 sides, with accompanying envelope annotated by Hodgson. Dated 30 April 1873.
