Could it be that he has gone off the dates from Richard Cocks' letters and journal entries? Oh oh. Again, something about his dates struck me as odd and that is why I listed the Japanese dates from Rekishi Gunzo's books next to what Turnbull used.

EDIT- Ahh, I see you went back into the article and changed the dates! Thanks!

It triggers a recording of Orson Welles in my brain's audio files doing the narrative voice over for Clavell's Shogun mini series. Could we just say "May 7"? I mean it is great to have old Orson do the reading of the article in my head and all, but...--[[User:Obenjo Kusanosuke|Obenjo Kusanosuke]] 20:34, 2 October 2007 (PDT)
