President of the San Francisco
San Francisco
March 22nd, 1860
Today, Admiral Kimura and his senior officers arrived at San Francisco City Hall. At City Hall, the First California Guard saluted them with seventeen guns to show them our respect and gratitude. Many of us were slightly nervous upon their arrival, but after a while, things were a bit more relaxed. After they were received at City Hall, we held a banquet for them at the Job's Hotel. I personally thought the food was great and I noticed that many of the Japanese officials enjoyed it as well. Overall, I am very grateful to the Japanese for choosing our city over tons of others to be recieved in.
