Queen Victoria's fourth daughter, Princess Louise, married this British nobleman in 1871; he served Argyllshire as Member of Parliament in the House of Commons, then in 1878 was appointed the youngest-ever Governor General of Canada, serving until 1883. ANS, 1p (lettersheet), 5" X 8", Edinburgh, Scotland, 3 November 1894. Very good. Addressed to Mr. Armour (P.W. Armour, secretary of the British India Steam Navigation Company of which Campbell served as a director). Mildly worn and age toned. On blind-embossed letterhead of the "Roxburghe Hotel / Edinburgh," Campbell (who was educated in Scotland) accepts an invitation: "Thanks for the Telegram. I shall be present, I hope, on Wednesday. I return [Copy?] of the last meeting." Boldly signed simply "Lorne" -- he bore the courtesy title Marquess of Lorne until the death of his father in 1900).

Queen Victoria's fourth daughter, Princess Louise, married this British nobleman in 1871; he served Argyllshire as Member of Parliament in the House of Commons, then in 1878 was appointed the youngest-ever Governor General of Canada, serving until 1883. ANS, 1p (lettersheet), 4½" X 7", illegible address, 29 November 1900 Near fine. Addressed to Mr. Armour (P.W. Armour, secretary of the British India Steam Navigation Company of which Campbell served as a director). On black-bordered mourning stationery (his father, the 8th Duke of Argyll, having died on 24 April), the newly-named 9th Duke of Argyll acknowledges receipt of three checks and names the amount of each. Boldly penned in black ink and signed simply "Argyll" -- he bore the courtesy title Marquess of Lorne from 1847 until the death of his father in 1900. With original black-bordered mourning envelope addressed by Argyll with postal cancellation from Dumbarton -- Argyll served Bute, Elgin, and Dumbarton as a Member of Parliament (1895-1900), so perhaps the illegible location penned on the letter was an address he maintained in that region.
