Title
Annotation | 1907 & 1908 LETTERS FROM MOORE JOHN Z. MISSIONARY KOREA)
2 letters written by John Z. Moore, a Missionary in Korea. Mr. Moore was part of a contingent of Missionaries of the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Moore, I believe, was from St. Clairsville, Ohio. One letter is dated 1907, uses 6 pages, and addressed to Miss Frost. Writer mentions what looks like Basking Ridge, and tells about how his Church and Bible work is going in Korea. I can't make out the city in which this letter was written. The second letter was typewritten at Pyeng Yang, Korea, January 1, 1908. Some of the type has faded, but is still readable, especially for someone with better eyes than mine. 3 pages of this New years Day written letter are typed and there is a manuscript letter on the last page. The typed letter was addressed "Dear Friends" and the manuscript addressed "My Dear Miss Frost". One thing this letter mentions is how much progress has been made since he arrived in Korea 3 years ago, and how much is yet to be done and accomplished. The paper on which this letter is written has rough top edges, age yellowing and staining and the aforementioned fading type. There are no covers, or envelopes, with the letters.
