Inspired with these ideas together with many others that embittered our passions, I thought it would be my duty to drive these evils out of the country if I could. But I never saw a foreigner until I came Tokei about three years ago, and it was for the first time that I saw a foreigner in Shiba. He was a stout and noble-looking gentleman, and my impression was very good; since that time I have fixed the opinion in my mind that foreigners are nothing less than men not more, but they are simply men as we are. While I was staying in Tokei, I saw many foreign books and other things which revealed me their superiority in arts and sciences. After returning home my sincere desire to study English which I believed the best in arts and sciences, led me to sacrifice all my enjoyments in family; and thus I left Sitzoka for Tokei.&#8211;This was about two years ago. Now my past feelings gave the way for the cordial friendship with which I became acquainted with foreigners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">N.
