○ 御飛脚の節に差し越し候書状の儀、重（かさ）なり・高（かさ）（＝嵩高）なきよう相認むべき旨、前々より御定めに候ところ、近年、嵩高な状が数多く見受けられ候間、一通りの勤めの書状は決して相止め、用事のみの書状を差し越すべく候。左（さ）様に候えば、銘々の宿々への状も残らず、畢竟、自分自分のためにもなり候間、その心得にて随分嵩高にならぬよう相認むべき儀に候。
且つ又、御役人共への手筋をもって頼み候書状の儀、只今まで■（者）は向寄（むこうより）をもって頼み来り候えども、自今以後は堅くそのような儀なきよう御心得あるべく候。尤も、御役人共へもこの以後、決して■■申さぬよう、この度仰せ付けられ候間、この旨相心得、前々の通り、御右筆部屋へ差し出すべきこと。
右の通り、この度改めて仰せ出され候間、各々御意を得られるべく候。
二月
別紙の通り、江戸表にて御触れ有之候。この表にても諸月番へ相触れ候様、仰せ出され候間、御意を得られるべく候。以上。

**Memorandum**
○ Regarding letters sent via the domain courier (*ohikyaku*): It has long been established by rule that such letters should not be bulky or lengthy. However, in recent years, a large number of excessively voluminous letters have been observed. Henceforth, letters written merely as a matter of routine duty shall absolutely cease, and only letters containing actual business (*yōji*) are to be sent. If this is observed, letters to each person's lodgings will also be reduced, and ultimately this will serve the benefit of each individual. With this understanding in mind, letters are to be composed so as to be as concise as possible.
Furthermore, regarding letters of request sent through personal connections (*tejiri*) to domain officials: although until now such requests have been made through acquaintances, from this point forward this practice is strictly to cease. The officials have likewise been instructed on this occasion not to accept such requests. Please take note of the above, and submit correspondence to the *goyūhitsu* (official secretarial) office as before.
The above having been newly proclaimed on this occasion, please be guided accordingly by all parties.
Second month
As indicated in the attached document, a notice has been issued in Edo. A notice to the same effect is hereby to be circulated to the various monthly-duty officials here in the domain as well, as commanded. Please be informed accordingly. The above.
Ninth day of the second month
Postscript: Please also communicate the above to those under your supervision. The above.
Lord Katō Buemon
○ Regarding the New Year's ■ fee (likely: *orei-sen*, formal monetary gift/fee): It has been decreed that, starting from next spring, the amount shall be reduced by half for a period of five years.
