Muragaki Norimasa;Lord of Awaji, Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, and Governor of Kanagawa. San Francisco,March 19, 1860
Today we opened the Kanrin Maru to the public. There was a ton of San Franciscan men who went on and off the ship we used to travel for the past year. We only allowed the men on the ship and not the women. They think we misapprehend the social ranking of women. Lieutentent Brooke tried convincing us to let the women aboard, but the thought does not agree with us. He even tried saying that there are women in high ranks that are equal to those of President Tsechemacher and Govenor Downy. There is no way this could ever happen.
