Captain of Kanrin Maru
San Francisco
April 6, 1860
Today, our Japanese treasurer, Morita visited the San Francisco Mint. There he exchanged the ambassador's Mexican silver dollars for some of the American's currency. The San Francisco Mint offered a huge stock of gold bars, which astonished our fellow treasurer. Meanwhile, my crew and I were preparing for tomorrow's departure. The time being was great for the Americans had exceptionally prepared their navy authorities to supervise us. Unfortunately, this meant that today will be our last day in this wondrous city.
Yes, the San Francisco Mint has a lot of gold.
