Muragaki Norimasa;Lord of Awaji, Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, and Governor of Kanagawa. San Francisco,April 6, 1860
Today, Morita, the treasurer of Japan, visited the San Francisco Mint. Here he traded Mexican silver dollars for American money. He , a few others and I got the chance to watch how coins were made. We were also very surprised to see so many gold bars in one place too. Anyway, yesterday Admiral Tattnall left for Panama and later Washington with his ship, the Golden Age. Before he left the Powhatan, everyone lined up to say their goodbyes. The Kanrin Maru is being fixed right now for her journey back to Japan. Unfortunately the Kanrin Maru won't go to Panama or Washington with us. Well I guess to the Kanrin Maru and her crew have a safe journey home!
