Reception for Japanese embassy at the Academy of Music
California Governor’s Office
April 1, 1860
The Japanese arrived in San Francisco on March, 17, and today is the 1st of April. So much time has passed since they have been here. Yesterday, they were given a tour of the city, in which Supervisor Teschemacher was put in charge of. They also stayed at the International Hotel for a night, where they experienced the kind and wonderful hospitality of the American people. Today, they will attend a music reception at the Academy of Music, where they will listen to amazing and beautiful pieces by some of the greatest musicians ever lived. Though I am Governor, I am starting to become jealous of the luxurious being bestowed upon the Japanese. I certainly hope they are enjoying their stay in the United States.
