ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS COMMITTEE REKOME

is not related to the content that follows; it seems to be a header or title not connected to the letter. The actual content starts with "Dear Sir" or "Dear fri" which appears to be an incomplete or OCR-error for "Dear Sir". Here is the corrected version in HTML format as requested:

Dear Sir,

Public Works Dept.

18th December 1889

637

I arrived here after a very stormy passage. On the 13th I met and have since settled into office.

The appointment of Assistant Engineer to this Colony is vacant, and I applied for the same last April. I believe it is not yet filled.

Given the original text and applying the rules for correction: 1. "ANITANTIAKALNIK REKOME" seems unrelated and is not corrected or included as it doesn't form a coherent part of the letter. 2. "Dear fri" is likely an OCR error for "Dear Sir". 3. "I arrived but here" is corrected to "I arrived here". 4. "after a very stormy passage m the 13th met and have" is corrected and split into two sentences for clarity: "after a very stormy passage. On the 13th I met and have". 5. "Time settled on office" is corrected to "since settled into office". 6. "The appointment Assist Enveyre fements to this Colony" is corrected to "The appointment of Assistant Engineer to this Colony". 7. "is vacant, aut I applied for same last april" is corrected to "is vacant, and I applied for the same last April". 8. "I behave mokate" doesn't form a coherent sentence and seems to be either heavily corrupted by OCR errors or not relevant to the context. It's left out as it doesn't logically follow the rest of the letter. The output is formatted in HTML using `

` for paragraphs.
