Since William Elliot Griffis' name has surfaced in this
discussion, here's a piece of trivia that falls into the
category of interesting but useless information: There
are two graduates of Central High School in
Philadelphia, both of the Class of '64, who have written
on Korean history - William Elliot Griffis and Wayne
Patterson. (Thought I'd put in a plug for my high
school - WP)<br>

</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>

Mention of his meeting with the Korean delegation in
New York:<br>
William Elliot Griffis, _Corea, without and within:
Chapters on Corean<br>
History, Manners and Religion. With Hendrick Hamel's
Narrative of<br>
Captivity and Travels in Corea, Annotated_,
Philadelphia: Presbyterian<br>
