</span>Yes, Griffis had met with Sŏ and other delegates of the first Korean<br>
mission to the U.S. on 27 November 1883 at the Victoria Hotel in New<br>
York (see below source). Griffis has seemingly writen a lot of books<br>
and articlen on Korea. One big book already came out in 1882 and was<br>
based mostly on Japanese sources. I was not aware of these *many*<br>
publications until now -- quite an amazing writer and hard-working<br>
researcher.<br>

Captivity and Travels in Corea, Annotated_, Philadelphia: Presbyterian<br>
