This is the letter written by Heungseon Daewongun (prince of great court) to conciliate the Eastern Learning (Donghak) army. He tried to convey that he understands the position the army is in but attempts to persuade them in a relatively soft tone to return home since violating the law is wrong. Attached at the end is the writing presented to the Chungcheong province governor after they read the prince’s conciliation letter. Between the eighth and ninth month of 1894, the letter was announced nationwide.
