Commodore
Hawaiian Islands (Sandwich Islands)
March 10,1860
We have managed to survive a great storm in the middle of our journey towards mainland America, and we have landed on the Hawaiian Islands for necessary repairs and the necessity to restock on supplies. During this time, the Japanese delegates have decided to explore the region here, with the higher ranking officials seeking a guided tour, whilst other delegates have taken the time to personally view the natural landscape. The native Hawaiian King Kamehameha and Queen Emma have graced us with their presence, although I must note, that the King was dressed quite extravagantly. On a side note, local residents of British descent wanted to host a ball in honor of my military service in defending the strategic Pei-Ho river position alongside British troops against the Chinese, but I respectfully declined. Now, I believe, as well as other Japanese delegates, that we should soon proceed towards San Francisco.
Your travels sound interesting, we will be ready for you when you come to San Francisco
