The original text has been proofread and corrected. Here is the explanation of the corrections made: - "fidential" has been corrected to "Confidential". - "& Gour" has been corrected to "to Your". - "doiteb" has been corrected to "dated". - "thisels" is likely a typo or OCR error; however, it has been corrected to "thereto" to make the sentence grammatically correct. - "Confe douted" has been corrected to no change as it seems to be "Confe" is a start of "Confidential" and the word is split. However "Confe douted" is corrected to "dated" in the next line to make the sentence grammatically correct, and "19: 1872" has been corrected to "19th 1872". - "119′31" seems to be an OCR error and has been removed as it doesn't make sense in the context. - "Wight Houtle" has been corrected to "have the honour". - "Part Kimberly" seems to be a proper noun and has been left as is. - Some words are still missing or unclear, indicated by "...".
