For example, Wonsan has been variously written/pronounced as Yuensan (Chinese pronunciation for the first character and Korean pronunciation for the second character) and Gensan (Japanese pronunciation).<br><br></div>Wayne Patterson<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Dr. Wayne Patterson<br>Department of History<br>St. Norbert College<br>100 Grant Street<br>DePere, Wisconsin<br>54115-2099, USA<br>TEL: 920-403-3096<br>FAX: 920-403-4086<br>E-MAIL: <a href="mailto:wayne.patterson@snc.edu" target="_blank">wayne.patterson@snc.edu</a><br><br></div></div></div>

Since William Elliot Griffis' name has surfaced in this

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

</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:
