Charles Henry Wheelwright Letters, 1854 March 22, 1854

The climate is tropical the further you go south - cooler the further you go north. There are lots of fish- oil- and coal. I saw tobbaco- tea- potatoes- sugar- beets- barley.

They trade a lot because Japan is making things like cars and electrical items. Many Markats need these things so they are selling well.

The people there wear clothes like dresses that are very colorful usually with a bright pattern. The arms of the dresses have long fabric nearly touching the ground coming off of it.
