April 6, 1860
Today Morita, the Treasurer of Japan, was able to visit the Mint. He went to exchange some Mexican currency for American dollars. He was very impressed by the process the Americans used to make money and by all the gold laying about. Tomorrow we are to leave San Francisco and head for the capital of the United States, Washington D.C. It will be a shame to leave this beautiful and friendly city behind but coming with us will be our first taste of American soil. So far our experience here has been so enjoyable. I am excited to see what other delights the Americans have in store for us.
