Kimura Yoshitake
Commander of the Kanrin Maru
San Francisco
April 7, 1860
Today, the Powhatan left San Francisco for Panama. Before the trip, President Teschemacher came aboard to wish them well.The crew of the Powhatan also gave a hearty thanks for the great time they had at San Francisco. I think the whole crew had a great time at San Francisco. They all felt grateful for a chance to experience something like what they experienced. They had been the first to experience American life. Muragaki said that he along with the rest of the crew had nothing but great memories of the beautiful San Francisco to treasure for the rest of his life. I know we all hope to come back soon.
