To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are to touch at Kanagawa for a day, and then proceed to Hong-Kong. Commodore Strib- ling, his flag lieutenant and Mr. Coolidge left the ship when we were at Kanagawa, and rode up to Jeddo by land and took up quarters at Mr. Harris', the minis- ter. Dorr offered me a horse to make one of this party, which had I accepted, I suppose I should have 25 stayed at Harris'; but 1 preferred to come up by ship* only twelve miles. All together, this cruise so far has been so novel, so pleasant, so full ...of interest and ac- complished in so short a time, as to render it quite an event in my experience, and one which I would not have missed for a great deal of money. Let me advise you to purchase "Hildreth's Japan, " an authentic and quite a reliable book, full of interest and fact. I have written this letter to mother and yourself most care- lessly, at all hours, in all places, and under all circum- stances of smooth and rough weather, badly punctu- ated and unfit to be read except by those at home, who make allowance for my mistakes under such circum- stances.
