Mr. Whittemore was in Korea from the late1800s until about 1920, according to his grandson, Arthur Jr. I purchased his all korean estate including 19 century clothes in 2003. I have his letter envelope sent to Choson, pyungyang from US, but I cannot find it now. If I find it, I will list the stamped envelope in future.
American Missionanry in Korea from GooglePre...sbyterian missionaries in Korea and the United States reacted to the so-called “Korean Conspiracy Case” in a variety of ways. In Korea, O.R. Avison, the director of the Presbyterian Severance Hospital in Seoul, Samuel A. Moffett, a Presbyterian missionary in Pyongyang, and Norman C. Whittemore, a Presbyterian missionary in Seoncheon, North Pyong-an Province, met with Terauchi on 23 January 1912. They told him that it was inconceivable that the arrested Koreans, who were among the most respected people in Korean society, should have legitimately fallen under suspicion. But Terauchi refuted their position and told them that the fact that so many Korean Christians had been involved in the plot had surprised him.
