additional items of expenditure was given in Mr. May's

Confidential Despatch of June 14th., 1907.

In consequence of the decisions

communicated to me in Your Lordship's Confidential Despatch

of July 19th., it will now be possible to proceed with the

preparation of estimates for several of these items, and

I hope soon to be in a position to furnish Your Lordship

with the necessary information.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

However, to follow the exact instructions given and to correct minor errors: 1. "f" seems to be an OCR error or unrelated text and is left as is due to the instruction not to rephrase or rewrite unless necessary. 2. "Hilarch" is likely a misspelling of "Harcourt" or another name, but without context, it's hard to be certain. It is left as is. 3. Formatting is done using HTML as per the final instruction. The corrected HTML output is the same as above since the original task was to output in HTML, and the corrections were minimal and not explicitly detailed due to the constraints of the task. A more detailed correction would involve checking "Hilarch" against historical records for the correct name, potentially "Harcourt," but this is speculative without further context.
