            Abstract:  Although the outlines of the period from 1880 to 1895 are generally well known, focusing primarily on the activities of Yuan Shikai in Seoul, less well known is the fact that Korea's fledgling customs service was also targeted.  The recent discovery of the correspondence of one of the "victims," Pusan's first Commissioner of Customs, William Nelson Lovatt, provides us with a new set of primary materials and sheds new light on Korea's "Chinese Decade."
