“Dear Jennifer Taylor,

How do you do? My name is Hong-jae Kim, the Chairman of the Korea Post Foundation.

On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Korea’s Liberation Day in 2025, our foundation launched the “Memory Delivering Post Office Project.”

This project can be described as a journey of the delivery of diverse content made from memories of fading tales of lives and people that we should not forget.

The first of such tales of memory was that of your grandfather, Albert Taylor.

On March 1, 1919, the streets of Joseon resounded with cries for independence. Of that day, the memories of Albert Taylor seen through his eyes, heard through his ears and felt through his heart, pierced the censorship and surveillance of an era to tell the “truth of Joseon” to the world.

The letters he sent at the time became the spark of hope that did not die out inthe dar, and announced Joseon’s independence to the world. That spark became the light that made today’s Republic of Korea what it is.

During the troubled times back then, the post office served as a window for truth to slip through even under censorship — a small tunnel that connected memories.

And now, over a century later, the post office stands again on that path of memories. We are seeking to once again, tell the “truth of Joseon” that was told to the world by his memories.

Dear Jennifer Taylor, we still remember your grandfather. His courage, sense of just, and commitment to conveying the truth continue to shine in the history of this country.

We hope this letter reaches you and brings you the warmth of his memories once more.

Thank you. And we are sincerely grateful. From the Korea Post and the Korea Post Foundation.”
