Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Around the World to Persia: Letters Written While on the Journey as a Member of the American-Persian Relief Commission in 1918
I thought it best not to begin a letter to you on land as there were so many interruptions. We landed on the 21st at Yoko hama in the most terrific downpour, and as they said it was the rainy season, I feared we should never see the sun. The next day, however, was beautiful. Yokohama is essentially a port, so we went to Tokyo to stay. Electric trams run every few minutes between the two cities, taking about fifty minutes.
