San Francisco
March 6th, 1860
Today, our secretary, Morita was invited to the San Francisco Mint. I bet he was looking forward to this trip ever since our arrival. It must be fun for Morita to share his knowledge and opinions about currencies with people who are curious to learn. In a way, American and Japanese currency shared similarities; both currencies have a highly respected figure imprinted on the bill. A difference between our currencies is that the Japanese coin designs look a bit more simple than the Americans. Meanwhile, I hear that the people on USS Powhatan are going to Panama tomorrow. As for us, we aren’t leaving for a while due to difficulties.

I'm glad Morita enjoyed himself, I wish you the best of luck on your ship repairs.
