Content Warning: Racist Terminology for Japanese People

Jack writes more about trains; his travels through Wyoming, the Sierra Nevadas, and California; the weather; his exploration of San Francisco; and how the 18th Amendment (Prohibition) negatively affects ships and shipping. Two pages from another letter (dated over a week later) appear afterwards. He discusses being near Hawaii, ship travel (preferring airplanes), and political tensions between Japan and the US, Japan and England, and Japan and Russia (in which he uses the racist terminology).
