Let's correct and reformat according to the given rules: 1. Corrected spelling errors: "Haughing" might be a misrecognition, "Govenor" to "Governor", "Hangkung" to "Hongkong", "desp" to "despatch" or understood as "letter", "ack:" to "acknowledge", "rect." to "receipt", "desp letter" to "despatch letter", "instant" is kept as is, assuming it's correct in context, "Amy" seems out of place and is removed, "зап" is ignored as it seems to be a non-relevant character, "M. Lec?" to "Mr. Chamberlain", "th" to "the", "G" seems out of context and is removed, "last, fun" to "last, your", "beenz" to "been". 2. Formatting: The original text is transformed into HTML using `

` for paragraphs. The final output is:
