Hello !
Could you please tell me the following question is right or not?

I THINK THERE IS MISPRINTING IN THIS QUESTION. If it's not please tell me the meaning of this question.

I would suggest these versions:

yes, there is a misprint.

It should probably be "Why did Baron H give ....?" - i.e. what were the reasons for the gift.
Or "What did Baron H..... to Hughie for?" i.e. what was the purpose of the gift.

Edit.
Gah, Torsten beat me by seconds... ;) Glad we had the same answers though...

That would be okay conversationally, but not in this context.
