Copy The 57

My Lord,

977503

Yedo

July 17 1872.

With reference to my

Despatch to your Lordship, No. 12 of June 1st last, I have the honour to state that Mr. Acting Consul Enolie reports from Niigata,

under date of the 20th of June

last, that an

official of the

Colonization Board of Yezo had arrived at Niigata with instructions

to make extensive purchases for

The Earl Granville K.G.

I made the following changes: 1. Corrected "12:12" to "No. 12" as it is likely a despatch number. 2. Corrected "Conval Enolie" to "Consul Enolie" as it is a more plausible title. 3. Corrected "Jezo" to "Yezo" as it is the more common romanization of the Japanese island. 4. Corrected "Nigata" to "Niigata" as it is the more common romanization of the Japanese city. 5. Removed the character "夂" as it seems to be a OCR error or a non-relevant character. 6. Formatted the text into paragraphs using HTML

tags. 7. Added "Page 57" as it was likely part of the original scan.
