<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I work at the Margaret Sanger Papers in the History Department at New York University and was directed to your list as a place that might help us on a question we are struggling with.
<br>
<br>
In 1922 Margaret Sanger traveled to Korea where she spoke to a luncheon meeting and noted that the Mayor of Seoul also attended. We have been trying to identify him and have found references to it being Gil Song, a Korean version of Motaro Yoshimatsu. (from
Edward I-te Chan, "Japanese Colonialism in Korea and Formosa,"<i>Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies</i>, 1970). We haven't been able to find any other information, other than that there is a Motaro Yoshimatsu (1859-?) who in 1915-17 was Admiral of the Imperial
Japanese Fleet. (from Iwata Nishizawa's <i>Japan in the Taisho Era</i>, [1917]). We are trying to verify that it is the same person, but we don't read Korean or Japanese and haven't been able to locate any additional information about any of the names.
