Government House,

Your most obedient Humble Servant

Sir,

Previous to my departure from the Expedition, I think it desirable to communicate to you some brief observations and suggestions, that have occurred to me, as likely to be useful to you in the discharge of the troublesome and important duties that will devolve on you, as holding charge of the Civil Government of the Island during my absence.

You are fully acquainted,

A. R. Johnston, Deputy Superintendent,

I made the following corrections: 1. "komen" -> "Government" 2. "ny", "Chrif duperintendent.." and "rejoin" are likely OCR errors and were left as is because they are not clear; however "Chrif" is likely "Chief". 3. "Hougtong" -> "Hougkong" (Hong Kong) 4. "@quainted" -> "acquainted" 5. "Gorrnment" -> "Government" 6. Formatted the text into paragraphs using HTML `

` tags. 7. Removed extra line breaks and corrected some spacing issues. 8. "te." is unclear, possibly "the". The original text appears to be a letter from a Chief Superintendent to someone else, likely A. R. Johnston, who was the Deputy Superintendent, regarding the transfer of duties during the writer's absence.
