Documento BHH/3/17 - Letter from Archibald Campbell to Brian Houghton Hodgson, 29 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.
