Governor Downey
Powhatan leaves San Francisco for Panama
California Governor’s Office
April 7, 1860
Today, the Japanese have finally departed from the United States aboard the Powhatan heading towards Panama. I hope we as a country did a good job on impressing the Japanese, I hope in the future we have more contact with each other. I am so proud of all the people who treated the Japanese with respect and dignity. Even though they were foreigners we gave them a little taste of American hospitality. Then stayed in wonderful hotels, ate fabulous food, and listed to excellent music. The people of Japan are really an interesting people, similar to us, and yet so different. We spent months preparing for their arrival, and now they have gone, I’m sure this will be the highlight of my time as California’s Governor.
