Kimura Yoshitake
Commander of the Kanrin Maru
San Francisco
April 6, 1860
Today, our treasurer visited the San Francisco Mint. He exchanged the Mexican silver dollars for American currency. I heard he also got a chance to see the making of coins and the large amount of gold the San Francisco Mint had. Yesterday, Admiral Tattnall left to go to Panama and Washington and Captain Taylor left for Aspinwall. Before they left, I went on board to bid them farewell. I hope they have a good trip. On the other hand, the Kanrin Maru is undergoing repairs before it sets back home to Japan. We are estimating it should be ready by the end of the month. I am very grateful to be a part of this great adventure.
