Muragaki Norimasa;Lord of Awaji, Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, and Governor of Kanagawa. San Francisco,March 22, 1860
Today Admiral Kimura and his senior officers arrived at City Hall. They were saluted by seventeen guns from the First California Guard. The Americans are really into showing us that they want peace between them and us or in other words Japan and America. After they were received in City Hall, they went to another banquet at the Job's Hotel. The Admiral and his officers were in for a treat. There was a wide selection of foods such as meats and desserts. I heard it was very good. They made toasts to the Emperor and the President. It was another night to remember.
