信州中之条の御代官・川上金五郎より、風聞を尋ねた書付に絵図を添えて報告がありました。三月二十四日の夜四つ時（午後十時）頃、突然大地震が発生し、中之条陣屋の構え・詰め塀の大半が揺れ崩れましたが、建物には特段の異常はありませんでした。陣屋周辺の村々でも同様に、庇などが震え落ちたものの、家の倒壊や怪我人などはありませんでした。陣屋内においても庭中に野営を張り、本家に居住している者はいませんでした。同夜の夜明けまでに八十〜九十度から百度もの大小の振動があり、翌二十五日から晦日（月末）までは、振動が一日に百五十度、あるいは百度ほどずつ続き、その内に大きな揺れが五〜六度ずつありました。当月一日から五日までは一日に三〜四十度ずつとなり、間隔が空くようになりましたが、その内に大きな揺れが二〜三度ずつあり、今もなお振動が止まりません。あちこちの村々では野宿している者が多くおります。

一、支配地域においては、水内郡のうち六か村で民家がほぼ全壊し、死者の多い場所がありますが、その他は破損箇所が多く、見分のための手代を派遣しておりますが、まだ調査が完了しておりません。

一、松代領水内郡のうち「山中」と呼ばれる一郷があり、三万石の場所でありますが、右の村々では特に地震が激しく、村ごとに山崩れがあり、家屋はことごとく倒壊し、死者も夥しく、同郡の水内橋の下（以下続く）

This is a report accompanied by a map, submitted by Kawakami Kingorō, the magistrate (daikan) of Nakanojō in Shinano Province, based on information gathered from rumors and inquiries. On the night of the 24th day of the 3rd month, around the hour of the fourth watch (approximately 10 p.m.), a sudden major earthquake struck. The greater part of the outer walls and fortified enclosures of the Nakanojō jinya (magistrate's office) collapsed from the shaking, but the main buildings sustained no particular damage. In the villages surrounding the jinya, eaves and similar elements fell due to the shaking, but there were no collapsed houses or injured persons. Within the jinya compound, people had set up camp in the garden and no one was residing in the main building. From that same night until dawn, there were somewhere between eighty and one hundred tremors of varying magnitude. From the following day, the 25th, through to the last day of the month, tremors continued at a rate of approximately one hundred to one hundred and fifty per day, with five or six major shocks among them each day. From the 1st through the 5th of the current month, the frequency decreased to approximately thirty to forty per day, with intervals between them growing longer, though there were still two or three major shocks per day, and the tremors have not yet ceased even now. In many villages, large numbers of people are sleeping outdoors.

Item: Within the territory under our jurisdiction, in six villages within Minochi District, many private homes were completely destroyed and there are places with high numbers of casualties. In the remaining areas, damage to structures is widespread; we have dispatched inspectors (tedai), but the investigation has not yet been completed.

Item: Within Matsushiro Domain's Minochi District, there is a region known as "Yamanaka," a locality assessed at thirty thousand koku. In the villages of this area, the earthquake was particularly severe, with landslides occurring in every village, houses entirely destroyed, and a great many deaths. Below the Minochi Bridge in the same district— (continued)
