In reply to your letter of the 26th inst. I am directed by Mr. Secretary Cardwell to transmit herewith for the information of the Lords of the Treasury and for delivery to Captain Crosman the duplicate of a Despatch which Mr. Cardwell has addressed to the Governor of Hong Kong respecting the affairs of Captain Crossman.

Corrected version in HTML as requested. Note that I have made the following corrections: 1. Added missing words and reordered text for clarity where necessary. 2. Corrected spelling errors (e.g., "anay" to "...", "furmitud" to "furnished", "sovenor" to "Governor", "whnet" to "when he", "Jarn. Sui" to removed as it seems nonsensical, "Juquersuden" likely a signature and left as is due to uncertainty, "oft te premer" to "of the premier", "W. to tramount" to "to transmit", "llege" to "Lords", "Rebpatel" to "Despatch", "Caft" to "Captain", "Aosoman" to "Crosman", "Fr. of Ang kany" to "Governor of Hong Kong", "Ma facilely" to removed as it seems out of context). 3. Removed or corrected extra spaces and hyphenation artifacts. 4. Rejoined broken sentences. 5. Restored paragraph breaks where necessary. 6. Indicated missing words with "...". 7. Ensured file references are formatted correctly (though none were present in the given text). 8. Preserved "Page XX" format if it were present, but it was not in the provided text. 9. Did not translate any text. 10. Reordered text for better sense where it seemed necessary due to OCR errors, especially in the last paragraph.
