[KS] McCune–Reischauer in 1883 :) Explanation

[Frank Hoffmann]

Dear All:

Just got two mails. Apologies! The posting was of course close to a 
joke (although not entirely) -- that's why I had a smiley in the 
subject line. So, before this this gets out of hand and starts a debate 
... this was of course Percival Lowell's handwriting, who had been 
hired by Min Yŏng-ik as a secretary on the group's tour through the 
U.S. The mailing list software had a (continuous) problem with some 
attached image formats, and since it is live I had no way of testing 
out if my fix worked (only the 2nd one did). Did not want to post some 
complete bogus as a test mail, so I posted that one. 
All forgiven? Or do I need to stand trial. 

Thanks!
Frank
