on this subject.
I also enclose a

Lord
further Despatch from Lyons containing some remarks
On
the tenour of the French Memorandum; and I am to

Papers before the Earl of Carnarvon
Lord Derby
25
301
you will favour Lord Derby with
observations which he may
and
have to make thereon.
I am to add that Copies of
Lord Lyons' Despatch have also been communicated to
Her Majesty's Secretary of State
for India.
I am, Sir,
Your
most obedient, humble servant,
I made the following corrections: 1. "Cepy" -> "Copy" 2. "Excellency!" -> "Excellency's" 3. "Lard" -> "Lord" (twice) 4. "Despatele" -> "Despatch" 5. "Omge" -> "On" 6. "there" -> "these" 7. "famous" -> "favour" 8. "Lord derley" -> "Lord Derby" 9. "abcervations" -> "observations" 10. "therentre" -> "thereon" 11. "Despatcher" -> "Despatch" 12. "lave" -> "have" 13. "Kis Lordships" -> No correction as it seems to be part of the signature or address which is cut off. 14. Minor spacing and punctuation adjustments for clarity. The original text appears to be a formal diplomatic letter, likely from the 19th century given the mention of "the Earl of Carnarvon" and "Lord Derby," who were prominent figures in British politics during that era.
