The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-05-18


The following letter, which has been handsd US
by gentleman Of this city, to whom il was ad-
dressed is especially interesting from the fac: that
the writer is a Japanese, who was rescued from
wreck and carried into San Francisco There he
remained for two three years, and having learn
ed the English language, he was taught to read
and write. How far his education progressed may
be judged from the letter Itself:

of yours have been miscarried, as | know YOU
would not silence so long, since last January
