Corrected version in HTML as per the instructions: 1. "RECE?" was corrected to "RECEIVED" as it is a clear spelling correction. 2. "REGE" was corrected to "REGD." as it seems to be a common abbreviation for "Registered". 3. "Demne" was corrected to "Decr" as it is likely a spelling error, and "Decr" is a common abbreviation for "December". 4. "hinsipal" was corrected to "Principal" as it is a clear spelling error. 5. "Cercetary" was corrected to "Secretary" as it is a clear spelling error. 6. "bolonies" was corrected to "Colonies" as it is a clear spelling error. 7. "ta" and "Xe" were left as is initially but then "..." was added to indicate missing or unclear words due to OCR damage. 8. The rest of the text was formatted into paragraphs using HTML `

` tags. However, to fully comply with the format requested, here is the revised response directly in HTML:
