International Hotel, San Francisco
March 31st, 186o
Our stay in San Francisco has been nothing below extraordinary so far. With each passing day I grow more and more appreciative of the hospitality that the Americans have shown and continue to show all of us. Tonight we are actually spending the night as guests at the International Hotel. Merely dining here several days ago was amazing but staying overnight in one of their magnificent rooms is a thousand times better. The ceilings are high and the beds are warm and soft. It seems that only a king should be treated with such luxuries and yet here I am, experiencing it all for myself. I shall remember this journey for the rest of my life.
