現代語訳
右に付き、別紙を相添えて十二組小頭共へ申し通すよう、組小頭へ申し付け候。左の通り。
〇このたび御用人より別紙の通り達しがございましたので、さして申し付けるまでもないことではございますが、なお又、組々の宿状等を差し出す場合も、厚さ三分に限り、飛脚に毎日八つ時までに月番宅まで差し出すべきこと。また、これまで自分の宿状等を直接差し出す者もいる趣とのことにございます。今後は小頭の名前以外では受け取らないことといたしますので、右の趣を十二組小頭へ申し通すべきこと。

江戸にて
〇今般、御側手向（おそばてむけ）の御趣意につき、飛脚三■（三便か）を相止めるよう仰せ出され候。また当節、道中筋の荷物の貫目の儀も、公儀より厳しいご取り締まりにて、わずかでも規定の貫目を超えては通行がかないませんので、去る申年に触れを出した儀ではございますが、なお更にお用状はできる限り嵩を低くなるよう致すべきこと。宿状はもちろんのことでございます。もっとも、一通りの勤め見廻等の書状は決して差し出さないこと。もしお用状がやむを得ず嵩高になる場合には、私ども月番のところへお越しいただいてその旨をお達しください。指図のないうちはお用状であっても嵩高の場合は受け取らないよう申し付けておきます。宿状についても、万一嵩高で差し出す場合には、その節に御右筆部屋・御坊主が受け取りがたい旨を掛け合っておりますと、手間取りとなりお用の差し支えにもなりますので、掛け合うまでもなく残されることもあろうかと存じます。そのようにご承知おきください。

英語訳
Regarding the above, a separate document is attached herewith, and the group leaders (kogashira) of the twelve groups are to be notified as follows. The instructions to the group leaders are as follows:
〇 As the Senior Steward (goyōnin) has issued the notice as per the attached separate document, there is little need to issue further instructions; however, once again: when submitting accommodation letters (yadojō) and the like from each group, the thickness must be limited to three bu, and they must be delivered to the residence of the monthly duty officer (tsukiban) by the eighth hour (approximately 2 p.m.) each day via express messenger (hikyaku). Furthermore, it has come to our attention that there are those who have been submitting their own accommodation letters directly. Henceforth, letters will not be accepted under any name other than that of the group leader. Please convey this to the group leaders of the twelve groups.

In Edo:
〇 In connection with the present intentions regarding the attendance arrangements for the lord's close attendants (osoba temuke), it has been ordered that three [express messenger services?] be discontinued. Furthermore, at this time, as the bakufu is strictly controlling the weight of cargo along the highways, and any amount exceeding the prescribed weight limit will not be permitted to pass, although this was already communicated in the Year of the Monkey, once again: official letters (goyōjō) should be made as compact and low in bulk as possible. This applies even more so to accommodation letters (yadojō). Routine duty inspection letters are absolutely not to be submitted at all. Should an official letter unavoidably become bulky, please come to us — those on monthly duty rotation (tsukiban) — and report the matter. Until instructions are given, even official letters that are oversized will not be accepted. Regarding accommodation letters, should a bulky one be submitted, if one were to negotiate the matter at that time with the scribes' room (goyūhitsu-beya) or the lay monks (gobōzu), it would cause delays and interfere with official duties; there may even be cases where letters are left behind without any negotiation taking place. Please bear this in mind.

〇 As Lord Kaigorō moved to his residence at the Sensui (garden pond) on today, the 22nd, the former residence is to be handed over to the construction magistrate (sakuji bugyō). Please be aware of this and handle the matter accordingly.
