not being filled up by the time this application may reach you, and I do so, in the confident expectation that when my public Services brought under consideration as above detailed are your consideration you will not refuse to assign his suitable reward to one who has given the best years of his life to The Queen's Service in this distant Colony, and who has always had at heart the interests and advancement of Strathcona.

Should I be again passed over it would be a grievous disappointment to me, but should I be fortunate enough to have substantiated my claim, it only remains to assure you that my best endeavours shall be to the performance of the high duties entrusted to me.

I have the honor to be, Sir, your most Obedient Servant,

Monial Secretary of Strathcona.

I made the following corrections: 1. Corrected "Strughous" and "Strughong" to "Strathcona" as it seems to be the correct name. 2. Corrected "disappointinent" to "disappointment". 3. Corrected "your mort Obedient Servant" to "your most Obedient Servant". 4. Rejoined broken sentences and restored proper paragraph breaks. 5. Removed extra spaces and corrected minor spacing issues. 6. The original text "Monial Secretary of Strughong-" was corrected to "Monial Secretary of Strathcona." assuming "Monial" might be a OCR error for "Colonial". However, I left it as is because it might be a correct title or name in the context. If "Colonial" is the intended word, it should be corrected accordingly. 7. The output is formatted in HTML using `

` for paragraphs as per the instructions.
