Corrected version with proper formatting and minor adjustments for OCR errors:
1. "RECR Oc" likely should be "REC Oct" or a similar correction, but without clear context, it's left as is.
2. "Rent 11 940 99" seems out of place; possibly a misrecognition or unrelated to the content.
3. "HongKong" corrected to "Hong Kong".
4. "Enclosure 1.17" and "1st October, 1879." were on separate lines; the sentence was rejoined for clarity.
5. "ultimo" is correctly used to refer to the previous month, so left as is.
6. "M. P." corrected to "M.P." (removed space).
7. "Steven Attaker" might be a misrecognition; the actual name could be different, but without further context, it's left as is.
The output is in HTML format as requested, using `
