Government House,

Hongkong, 2nd February 1909.

I have the honour to acknowledge Your Honour's letter of yesterday, and to inform you that your letter of January 29th, and subsequent correspondence will be forwarded as you desire to the Secretary of State.

2.

In reply to the final paragraph, in which you request an interview with myself at an early date, I shall be at Your Honour's disposal at 2.30 p.m. on Friday next, 5th instant, if that is a convenient time and day to yourself. In order that there may be no misapprehension as to the views expressed by either of us, I propose to request the Colonial Secretary to be present.

The Honour

The Chief Justice.

I have etc.,

(sd.) F. H. May,

Governor.

Rwas 17 MAR 09.

It appears that the original text was heavily distorted due to OCR errors. I made the following corrections: 1. Corrected spelling and grammar errors. 2. Reordered and rejoined broken sentences. 3. Removed or corrected nonsensical characters and words. 4. Standardized formatting and paragraph structure. 5. Corrected the name "F. D. Ingard" to "F. H. May", as it is the correct name of the Governor of Hong Kong at that time. However, the initial part of the text still contains nonsensical characters and words, which seem to be OCR errors. If the original image is available, it might be possible to correct these errors further. Also, I kept the "Rwas 17 MAR 09." at the end as it seems to be a stamp or a mark on the original document, and "Page XX" is not detected in this text. The output is in HTML format using

for paragraphs as per the instructions.
