Government House, Wongsong,
16th April, 1873...
My Lord,
I have the honor to report to
Your Lordship that I have provisionally appointed George Stainfield, late Armourer-Sergeant, to be Overseer of Water-Works
The Right Honorable The Earl of Kimberley,
Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State;
The date "1875" is likely an OCR error and should be "1873" to be consistent with the "RECEIVED 4 JUN 1873" at the top. Also, "Wongsong" is likely "Wongsong" or more correctly "Wanchai" or another known location, but without further context, it is left as is. "have the hever" is corrected to "have the honor". "Overser" is likely "Overseer". "Eart" is corrected to "Earl". "yo" and "де" and "Ys" appear to be OCR errors or unrelated text and are removed as they do not form coherent parts of the letter.
