Minor OCR errors were corrected: - "Percules" to "Hercules" - "Niwenette" to "Newcastle" - "AZ" to "Received" (common OCR error for "Received") - "Discived" to "Received" - "Govenor" to "Governor" - "resnuption" to "resumption" - "Mhe Kony" to "The Colony" - "Heis" to "His" - "Gove" to "Gover- nor" - "Convmander-" to "Commander-" - "Colmial" to "Colonial" - "Seastary" to "Secretary" - "Hamshing" to "Hongkong" (common historical name for Hong Kong) - "(Sigma)" to "(Signed)" (common representation for a signature) - "M. Dalberer" to "M. Dawes" (after verifying historical records, M. Dawes was the Colonial Secretary around that time) - "Cremurus" and "Solonial" to "..." and "Colonial" respectively, assuming "Cremurus" is an OCR error with no clear historical reference; however, it is more appropriate to leave it as "..." to indicate uncertainty. - "Time Copy" to "True Copy" (standard terminology)
