Philo Norton McGiffin to the Editor of “McClure’s Magazine,” Signed Autograph Letter, 3 pages, 1895 July 31
McGiffin sends a proposal for an article describing the naval action during the "Battle of the Yellow Sea (1894)" involving two Chinese vesssels, the "Kwang-Yi" and Tsao-kiang, which were intercepted and attacked by three powerful Japanese cruisers. He was on the Court of Inquiry to determine who was to blame for this action which was fought before war was declared and had in his possession copies of all the evidence and photographs of the damages.
