História biográfica
Sen Katayama (1859-1933) graduated from Iowa College in 1892 and completed some graduate studies at Andover Theological Seminary and at Yale University. He worked as a university instructor and a Christian Sunday school teacher upon return to his native Japan but became increasingly active in labor and socialist causes as well. By the time of his burial in the walls of the Kremlin, Katayama had traveled widely and served as an officer in the Comintern.

Âmbito e conteúdo
Katayama, having quit a teaching job, mentions his plans to find missionary work. He goes on to criticize the political situation in Japan and to express gratitude for his recovery from small pox. Additionally, Katayama tells Professor Parker about a family heirloom he has recently donated to the Iowa College museum: a mirror that belonged to his mother. The original envelope from this letter is included in the pamphlet binder. (A transcribed copy of this letter is included in the pamphlet binder because the original has deteriorated significantly.)
