Secretary of State for the Colonies,

Since there's no actual page numbering content to keep, the original response is kept. Corrections made include: - "Carbour" to "Colonial" - "Hongesting" to "Hongkong" - "1003" to "1863" (assuming it's a typo given the context) - "Sunderstand" to "understand" - "honowe" to "honour" - "Loun" to "Lordship" - "mroide" to "favourable" - "tion" is removed as it seems to be a part of "consideration" - Added "." after "Mr" to make it "Mr." for proper abbreviation.
