Letter from Archibald Campbell to Brian Houghton Hodgson in which he thanks Hodgson and his wife but states that 'we' shall not be up to the Exhibition this week. He has to be in Hodgson's part of the town on Friday 25th but will write before that. He has asked the Secretary if the Deputation can be deferred until Alcock's return and has also asked the Society if they will print Hodgson's 'Paper on the Trade with Nipal and Thibet'.

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.

Letter from Archibald Campbell to Brian Houghton Hodgson in which he writes of his satisfaction in that the Tibetans can pass across the Chola Pass or the [Zeautiu Maet] if they prefer rather than having to go down to Darjeeling and risk fever in the hot weather. Campbell will be glad to explain it all to Sir L (Mallet) if he desires and could be at the India Office at 11am on Wednesday, coming on to Hodgson afterwards. He asks Hodgson to reply to the Anthropological Institute. He suggests Halliday overlooks the last Treaty which was made after he left India. He also writes that "The Ocean Highway" for March/April has a good deal about Asia and Russia in it. Handwritten, 1 piece, 4 sides, with accompanying envelope annotated by Hodgson. Dated 5 May 1873.

Letter from Archibald Campbell to Brian Houghton Hodgson in which he writes that he is glad Hodgson is back from Brighton. Campbell has no insight into India Office operations - Sir L Mallet took no notice of the calling card Campbell had left. Campbell had written to the Duke of Argyll after the Deputation who had just replied to say that the letter had been sent on to Gridlestone and he had been sent Gridlestone's remarks. These he will send on to Hodgson when they come back from [Toe]. He asks whether Toe has refused his knighthood, if he has Campbell feels he has done wrong to science. Campbell and his wife had been to a garden party at the Duke of Argyll's and were introduced to Lord Lawrence by his brother, Sir George. The Duke was cordial and had introduced them to Princess Louise who is bright and happy looking with a simple manner and strong German accent. One of Campbell's sisters is ill in Scotland so he is unsure whether he may have to travel there. Handwritten, 2 pieces, 8 sides, dated 27 May 1873.

Letter from Archibald Campbell to Brian Houghton Hodgson. He writes to send enclosures back and comments favourably on the tone of Sir L. Mallet's letter suggesting he sounds like an 'Indian of the olden times" though he is not an Indian at all. Campbell surmises that the Tibetans that Cooper saw at Calcutta were dependents of the Dewar. Campbell suggests that Cooper's answer to his question concerning the use of 'the Lamas' in his book was elusive. Campbell had the Treaty before him when he wrote his letter to Hodgson the previous day and has Chapter one ready to support his claims about 1792 and 1801 if needed. Handwritten, 1 piece, 4 sides, dated 29 May 1873.
