San Francisco Mint
April 6th, 186o
It is nearing the end of our visit in America and lately we have been trying to fit in a few last events. Earlier today, our treasurer, Morita, visited the San Francisco Mint where he was honorably welcomed. Primarily, the purpose of the visit was to exchange American currency for Mexican currency, seeing as it will be greatly needed for the trip to Panama in a few days. Unfortunately, those of us traveling on the Kanrin Maru cannot progress in our journey due to ship repairs. It has been said that this may not be for another month or so. For me this is bittersweet; I love being in San Francisco and absorbing the culture here, but at the same time, I very much wish to explore other foreign countries as well.
I hope your ship repairs go well, in the mean time please enjoy San Francisco.
