[or possibly: Br. obedient. Levok. is not clearly related to the rest of the text, possibly a signature or initials that are not clear]

However, to follow the exact instructions given and to improve the response to fit the required format (HTML using

for paragraphs), and considering the original text seems to be a letter or correspondence, here is a more appropriate version:

32 Buckingham Terrace, Edinburgh

Dear Sir,

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 15th instant, and in reply beg to state that I shall be prepared to appear at the Colonial Office on the 12th January.

Yours faithfully,

Korman J. Mitchell

Or, if we stick strictly to the original instruction for output format and try to make sense of "Br. obedient. Levok." as potentially being part of the signature or a related note, the most straightforward correction and formatting would be:

32 Buckingham Terrace, Edinburgh

Dear Sir,

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 15th instant, and in reply beg to state that I shall be prepared to appear at the Colonial Office on the 12th Jan.

Yours faithfully,
Br. obedient. Levok.

Given the context and the rules, the most appropriate response, focusing on correcting OCR errors and maintaining the original content's integrity, is:

32 Buckingham Terrace, Edinburgh

Dear Sir,

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 15th instant, and in reply beg to state that I shall be prepared to appear at the Colonial Office on the 12th Jan.

Yours faithfully,
Korman J. Mitchell

However, the exact handling of "Br. obedient. Levok." is challenging without more context. If it's considered part of the signature or an annotation, it should be preserved as closely as possible to its original form. The final version I provide sticks to the most likely interpretation and correction based on the given text.
