○六月二十五日、左の通り御用人より渡された書付。
若殿様へ年始・暑中・寒中の御機嫌伺い、並びに御祝儀、その他これまで書状をもって申し上げてきた儀については、御在国中は殿様へ御祝儀を申し上げる節に、御用人たちへも一緒に相達すべき旨とのことである。もっとも、江戸表へ書状を差し上げるには及ばないこと。
○九月二十六日、七ッ蔵御用所へ罷り出るよう笹治権右衛門・嶋田清左衛門より申し聞かせがあり、罷り出たところ、左の通り書付が渡された。もっとも、江戸表においては新番組の取り扱いがあるにつき相渡す由、申し聞かせがあった。
覚
一、小役人並びに御徒より新番並びに御取立の年より十年勤め候えば、新番組へ入れられること。
一、新番組へ入れられて四十年勤め候えば、大御番組へ入れられること。
合計五十年。
但し、祖父より二代目、並びに現身（本人）に限らず、右年数次第のこと。もっとも、役方あるいは格別の勤め方がある者は、その節の御吟味次第にて年数によらず御沙汰があるべきこと。且つ又、始めより新番組へ仰せ付けられた者も同断。
一、大御番組へ御取立の年より二十五年勤め候えば、相身体末（あいみたいすえ）へ。
一、相身体末より二十五年勤め候えば、順席始めより大御番組へ入れられるも同断。
合計五十年。
但し、祖父より二代目・三代目、並びに現身に限らず年数次第のこと。もっとも、役によって順席を仰せ付けられた面々はこれまでの通り。あるいは現身においても訳ありの格別の勤め方がある者は、右年数に限らずその節の御吟味次第にて御沙汰があるべきこと。
右の趣旨を、今後御番割の節に吟味のうえ相達すべきこと。
○十月朔日、中根靱負より左の通り書付一通が渡され、御徒目付へ申し聞かすべき旨。
九月十二日、堀田相模守殿より小笠原縫殿助殿・久世忠右衛門殿が召し呼ばれ、仰せ聞かされたことは——去々年、松平能登守殿が御病中にご尋問のため、上使として堀田加賀守殿がお越しになった節、酒井大和守殿の御供廻りと加賀守殿の御供廻りとの間で申し合わせがあった。その後も御大名方の御供廻りが入り乱れるとの趣が聞こえており、御老中方よりも随分と仰せ付けられてはいるものの、込み合った場所においては猶更申し分けのないようにとのご命令であるが、増して外様にはきっと仰せ付けられるべきことと思し召される。この段、それぞれへ仰せ達されるようにと、相模守殿より仰せ聞かされた由。

○ On the 25th day of the 6th month, the following document was handed down from the *goyōnin* (senior administrators):
Regarding the matters of inquiring after the Young Lord's (*Wakadono-sama*'s) well-being at the New Year, during the summer, and during the cold season, as well as conveying congratulatory greetings and other matters that have hitherto been communicated by letter — during the period when the lord is in residence in the domain, these should be conveyed simultaneously to the *goyōnin* at the same time as congratulations are offered to the lord. Note, however, that it is not necessary to send letters to the Edo residence in this regard.
○ On the 26th day of the 9th month, Sasaji Gonuemon and Shimada Seizaemon communicated that one should present oneself at the administrative office at the Nanatsu-kura (the Seventh Storehouse). Upon doing so, the following document was handed over. It was also communicated that this was being distributed because the *shinbangumi* (new guard unit) procedures apply at the Edo residence as well.
**Memorandum**
Item — Those who are lesser officials (*ko-yakunin*) or foot soldiers (*o-kachi*) and are ranked as *shinban* (new guards) or newly appointed shall, upon completing ten years of service from the year of their appointment, be admitted into the *shinbangumi* (New Guard Unit).
Item — Those admitted into the *shinbangumi* shall, upon completing forty years of service, be admitted into the *Ō-gobangumi* (Great Guard Unit).
Total: fifty years.
*Provided*, however, that this applies not only to the individual but also to the second generation from the grandfather, calculated according to the cumulative years of service. Furthermore, those who have served in administrative roles or who have demonstrated especially distinguished service may receive a ruling (*go-sata*) irrespective of the number of years, at the discretion of the relevant review (*go-ginmi*) at that time. The same applies to those who have been appointed to the *shinbangumi* from the outset.
Item — Those elevated to the *Ō-gobangumi* shall, upon completing twenty-five years of service from the year of their appointment, advance to the *Aimitate-sue* (the lower tier of senior status).
Item — Those in the *Aimitate-sue* shall, upon completing a further twenty-five years of service, be admitted into the *Ō-gobangumi* beginning from the head of the seniority-ranked positions (*jun-seki*) — the same applies here.
Total: fifty years.
*Provided*, however, that this applies not only to the individual but also to the second and third generations from the grandfather, calculated according to the cumulative years of service. Furthermore, those appointed to seniority-ranked positions by virtue of their role shall continue as before. Those who, even personally, have meritorious or specially distinguished service records shall receive a ruling irrespective of the stated number of years, at the discretion of the relevant review at that time.
The foregoing shall henceforth be examined and communicated at the time of each guard roster assignment (*go-banzari*).
○ On the first day of the 10th month, Nakane Yukinojo handed over the following document and directed that it be communicated to the *o-kachi-metsuke* (inspectors of the foot soldiers):
On the 12th day of the 9th month, Hotta Sagami-no-Kami summoned Ogasawara Nuido-no-Suke and Kuze Chūuemon and conveyed the following: — In the year before last, when the Senior Councilor (*Rōjū*) Hotta Kaga-no-Kami was dispatched as a special envoy (*jōshi*) to inquire after Matsudaira Noto-no-Kami during his illness, there arose a dispute between the retinue of Sakai Yamato-no-Kami and the retinue of Kaga-no-Kami regarding precedence and conduct. It has since come to be heard that the retinues of various *daimyō* have continued to mingle in a disorderly fashion. While the Senior Councilors have issued repeated instructions on this matter, it is directed that in congested locations there should be especially no cause for complaint. It is furthermore the Lord's intention that *tozama* (outside lords) in particular should receive strict instructions. It is requested that each party be notified accordingly — this was communicated by Sagami-no-Kami.
