Letter from Colchester Essex. Major Walker of the 3rd (The King's Own) Hussars writing to a Bordeaux wine merchant. He is providing them with the address of Mr. MacIvor former officer, now Political Agent in Bushehr Persian Gulf. He would like to order some claret wine.

March 7th
Colchester Essex
 
My dear Sir,
Mr. Ivar MacIvor who was formerly an officer in this Regiment, but has now gone into the Political service and is now at

I don’t quite know what steamers go to Bushire. He thinks it would have to be transhipped at Aden, Letters however go by Bombay. I dare say you will be able to find out the best route
Your truly

The India Office and Burma Office List

The 3rd (The King's Own) Hussars was a cavalry regiment of the British Army, first raised in 1685. It saw service for three centuries, including the First World War and the Second World War…. It then went on to fight at the Battle of Chillianwala in January 1849 and the Battle of Gujrat in February 1849 during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The regiment was renamed the 3rd (The King's Own) Hussars in 1861. In 1868 it was in India. The regiment was deployed to South Africa in December 1901 for service in the Second Boer War and was involved in the last great drives, capturing the boers, in the north-east of the Orange River Colony.
