Bound journal contains a detailed description of the 206 day voyage to California, especially of passengers, crew, and events on board, with a lengthy description of Talcahuano, Chile. There is another long description of San Francisco, with an account of each day's profit in Nevada City. From 4 July 1850, the journal entries are in another hand, probably a transciption of Levi's notes by his brother Tristam.

Robinson, And sung by himself with great applause at the Dramatic Museum, San Francisco."
