In reply to your Despatch No. 274 of the

28th. ultimo, I have the honour to inform you that this

Goverment has not provisionally handed over any land to the

War Department, but has merely allowed the Military Authori-

ties to commence work on the new Battery at West Point upon

their own responsibility.

I enclose for your information copies of

the correspondence noted in the margin from which you will

clearly perceive that the Colonial rights as settled under

the late arrangement embodied in Ordinance No. 1 of 1901,

to General

15th June 1901.

Sarah Bascorque to Governor - 20th June

-29th June, 1901.

However, to follow the instructions more closely and correct the OCR output: ## Step 1: Review the original text for errors and formatting. The original text contains numerous OCR errors, including spelling mistakes, incorrect spacing, and formatting issues. ## Step 2: Correct spelling errors and spacing issues. Correcting the text: "Lady sto" to "Lady Stoke", "ette hobay rack" to a plausible original text is challenging without context, "Mr Chambslam" to "Mr Chamberlain", "Mer Brodrick's" seems correct but could be "Mr Brodrick's", "xo.383" to "No.383", "Goverment" to "Government", "Rec" to "Received", "ultimo" is correct, "elearly" to "clearly", " Bascorque" could be a name but is unclear, "Hurry act he" to "Henry Arthur". ## Step 3: Reformat the text into proper Markdown and correct obvious errors. Given the context, the text appears to be a historical document. The corrected version should be formatted for readability. ## Step 4: Apply the rules for OCR proofreading. The text is a mix of unrelated fragments and a coherent letter. The coherent part is a letter from the Governor of Hong Kong to Joseph Chamberlain. ### Corrected Text in Markdown Format
