I think you can make as much sense of this definition from the Oxford dictionary as I can.

dated postpositive (in business letters) of the current month.
‘your letter of the 6th instant’
It's rarely used these days. One of the first hits I found in Google was written earlier than the 15th century.

You also need to specify an object for the verb 'do'.

eg "I shall endeavor to do the work / it . . . "
