Letter from Archibald Campbell to Brian Houghton Hodgson in which he reassures Hodgson that he would not do anything to upset Hodgson's relationship with Gridlestone or his people. He wonders if Sir L. Mallet is offered an office, whether he will take it. He wonders whether there is any use visiting Mallet as Mallet knows that he and Hodgson are of the same mind and that Hodgson has already spoken to him. It seems if Gridlestone had been of the same opinion as Haughton then Campbell would have been very hopeful but as Gridlestone is of the mind to leave things alone till Young dies, he has not much hope. Campbell then writs about a court-martial. Handwritten, 1 piece, 4 sides, with accompanying envelope bearing Hodgson's annotations. Dated 31 May, 1873.
