It rained slowly all morning.
27 I had a pleasant
revelation at the chief
Japanese bank in
Seoul! They accepted my
craft on Kbp for 400. yes,
& cashed it without any
endorsement which is
more confidence than
any American or European
Bank has shown in me.
Further they charged me
only ½ yen or 50 cents & not
that 7 generous percent
which Chinese banks
or European control
charge their fellowman,
I must confess the Japs
show much confidence in
foreigners & are well
beyond the average in
friendship. The Yellow
Peril is chiefly in the
superior consideration with which
the Japs treat us than badly
we treat one another
