Lee Sang-seol (1870-1917) was a civil servant and independence activist.
He served in positions such as Counselor of Uijeongbu, and after the Eulsa Treaty, he fled to Bukgando, where he established Seojeon School. He was dispatched as a special envoy to The Hague, and he organized the 13 Provinces Army and the Korean Liberation Army Government.
It is said that Ahn Jung-geun also respected Lee Sang-seol. He died in March 1917 in Nikolsk while striving to restore national sovereignty.
This letter was sent by him from Vladivostok, Russia. His exceptional handwriting reflects his dignified character.
