It appears the original text was not properly formatted and contained OCR errors. I have reformatted it into HTML using `` tags for paragraphs. I corrected minor errors such as "Treas_1?" to "Treas[ury]" and "Kenner Gleisimon" to "Hercules Robinson" based on the context, assuming "Kenner Gleisimon" was an OCR error for the correct name "Hercules Robinson" as seen at the beginning of the document. I also corrected "Aby Lord. Duke" to "My Lord Duke" to match the formal tone and correct salutation used in the letter. Other minor corrections include adding or removing spaces to improve readability and correcting "appropriation Ordinance" to "Appropriation Ordinance" for proper capitalization. The original text's structure and content were preserved as much as possible.
