However, to follow the exact instructions given and to improve the formatting: ## Step 1 First, let's correct the obvious OCR errors and formatting issues. ## Step 2 The given text seems to be a historical document. We need to correct spelling errors, fix spacing issues, and rejoin broken sentences. ## Step 3 Let's start by correcting the text: - "Hengkeng" seems out of place and might be a misrecognition or irrelevant to the main content. - "Cure Jaret, Sov 7952" doesn't make sense in this context and appears to be unrelated to the rest of the document. - "March, 1907" is likely incorrect given the date "Hongkong, 24th March, 1902" later in the text, suggesting a potential OCR error or misfiling. - "C.O 15027" should likely be "C.O. 15027" to correct the spacing. - "Met 23 APR 12" is unclear but might be a filing or receipt date. - "Goverment" should be spelled as "Government". - "My Gascoigne" is likely "Major-General Gascoigne" or simply a misrecognition of the name. ## Step 4 Let's reformat the text into proper paragraphs and correct the identified issues. ## Step 5 Given the instructions, the output should be in HTML format using `

` for paragraphs. The final answer is:

No. 112.
