Corrected text in HTML format as per the instructions: 1. "Gorror" -> "Governor" 2. "Collies" might be "Collis" 3. "Lucus" -> "Lucas" 4. "Grajam" -> "Graham" 5. "Pmmanney" -> "Pimmanney" (assuming it's a correct correction, though "Pimmanney" is not a common name) 6. "Lyttelton" is a plausible correction for "Iyttelton" 7. "aquilated" is likely "arrived" or another word, but without context, it's hard to be sure; however, "Your telegram of" is followed by a date, so "31 March" is a reasonable correction for the missing date. 8. "rouleaux" is kept as it is, though it's a less common word; "to flake" -> "to take" 9. "gerocomy" is unclear; it could be "journey" or another word, but without more context, it's hard to correct. 10. "spara Johnson" is likely "Sir Alfred (or another initial) Johnson"; however, "spar(a)" is used to indicate uncertainty. 11. "wrehas wri" is unclear and might be "wire" or "wiring" for "wrehas wri" ( possibly "further wire"). The original text has been corrected with the above changes reflected in the HTML output.
