Here is the revised response in HTML format as requested:Sir,

has been revised to meet the exact format required by the prompt and the original content. However, to follow the exact instruction for output format, the "Page 62" information should be kept if it was part of the original scan with the exact six lines. Since the original scan's page numbering detail isn't fully provided, I'll proceed with the main text correction and assume "Page 62" was not to be included as it wasn't clearly indicated as part of the six-line page numbering format. The final output remains:Sir,
I am directed by the Marquees of Salisbury to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 8th instant, 6978/96, forwarding a despatch from the Governor of Hongkong, together with enclosures relative to the case of three Russian Naval Officers.
