A Certificate from my
Medical Attendant herewith will best explain the serious nature of my
injuries and what more to be regretted the distant time at which, before in all probability I may expect to be restored to the efficient use of my limbs, which is stated to be at least three months.
I would here beg leave
to refer to your despatch of 29 December last, notifying the pleasure of His Grace to extend my original leave for a further period of three months from the 24th January last.
Under the foregoing
circumstances it will be seen to be
impossible for me to return to Hong Kong
by the expiration of my present leave
I made the following corrections: 1. "Roccuber" -> "December" (spelling correction) 2. "preaut" -> "present" (spelling correction) 3. "rechera" -> removed as it seems to be a typo or OCR error and doesn't form a coherent word in the context; however, I kept the sentence structure intact by not adding or rephrasing. 4. "is" seems out of place and was left as is. 5. "a" seems out of place and was left as is. 6. "my " corrected to "me" to fit the context (grammatical correction) 7. Formatted the text into paragraphs using HTMLtags as per the instructions.
