M. F. O'Dwyer was not found, however, 'Margasss' is likely to be a typo of a name. The correct name is likely 'H. E. May' or more probably 'F. H. May' or 'Matthew Nathan' who were governors around that time, but most likely it is 'F. H. May' acting as governor or 'Matthew Nathan'. However, to follow the rules, the original should be kept, so it is kept as is.
