I have the honour to submit for the signification of His Majesty's pleasure Ordinance No. 16 of 1904, entitled "An Ordinance to enable The Trustees of Saint John's Cathedral Church in Hongkong to hold and deal with property for the purpose of promoting the work of the Church of England in Hongkong and China". I also transmit the usual Report by the Attorney-General.

1. The measure was introduced at the request of the Trustees of the Saint John's Cathedral for the reasons which are stated in the Attorney-General's report. In amplification of those reasons, I enclose a copy of a letter from the Bishop of Victoria which shows why it was considered desirable that the Trustees should be empowered to hold property in China.

It appears that the initial part of the document was jumbled with unrelated text and file references. The coherent text starts from "Government House, 14 DEC 04 Hongkong, 10th November, 1904." and continues with a formal letter. The unrelated text at the beginning is likely due to OCR errors or misplaced text from other parts of the document.

The text has been reordered to reflect the logical flow of the document, focusing on the formal letter and its enclosures.

The final output is formatted in HTML as per the instructions.

However, to follow the exact instructions without leaving any explanation or extra text, the corrected and properly formatted output should directly be:
