其物品目録ニ認受取置折を以展覧之節
会席へ持出し相済候ハヽ又々我家ニ秘蔵致置
又後年ニ至り無余儀訳ニ而人手ニ譲り候様之節ハ
前書之通取斗又是迄之内ニ売却紛失等之
向も可有之ハ不及是非去り迚世間を塊（ハジ）
秘置
候而者由緒有之家名且重宝傳来之物品等
今度微細ニ書遺さずんハ末代迄消果べし
依而右所持有之りし物品之由緒目録斗無洩
穿鑿取纏め又伝来之由緒無之共重宝之
珎器古物等所持之向ハ旧士族而已ニ不関諸向不残
捜索微細ニ相認一冊とし
佐佳枝神殿ニ相納尚活版ニ摺立
旧御藩ニ者斯々之御家臣有り又ケ様之宝器
所持せる人有りしといふ事を後代之衆人ニ知ら
しめ折々展覧有之候ハヽ不歟成
神慮ニも被為叶且家々之規模も万代
不朽相残り夫々祖先之霊意も本懐
なるへしと思ふニなん

現代語訳
その物品目録に認めて受け取り置き、折をもって展覧の節に
会席へ持ち出し、相済めばまた我が家に秘蔵致し置き、
また後年に至り、やむを得ない訳で人手に譲るような節は
前書の通り取り計らい、またこれまでのうちに売却・紛失等の
向きもあることは是非に及ばず。去りとて世間を塊（恥じ）て
秘し置く
のでは、由緒ある家名かつ重宝伝来の物品等、
今度微細に書き遺さなければ末代まで消え果ててしまうであろう。
よってその所持していた物品の由緒・目録ばかりを漏れなく
穿鑿し取りまとめ、また伝来の由緒がなくとも重宝の
珍器・古物等を所持する向きは、旧士族のみに関わらずあらゆる向きを残らず
捜索し微細に相認め一冊とし、
佐佳枝神殿に相納め、なお活版に摺り立て、
旧御藩にはこのような御家臣があり、またこのような宝器を
所持せる人がいたということを後代の衆人に知ら
しめ、折々展覧があれば、いかがであろうか。
神慮にも叶い、かつ家々の規模も万代
不朽で相残り、それぞれ祖先の霊意も本懐
なるべしと思うのである。

右は御一新以来の志願なるも、かく認めたのは十四年
英語訳
Those items should be recorded in catalogs and kept, and when occasions arise for exhibitions,
they should be brought out to gatherings, and when finished, stored as treasures in one's home again.
Also, in later years, when unavoidable circumstances require transferring them to others,
arrangements should be made as described above. It is inevitable that some
may have been sold or lost by now, but that cannot be helped. However, if we remain ashamed before society and keep them
hidden,
the distinguished family names and treasured heirloom items
will completely disappear for all future generations unless we record them in detail now.
Therefore, we should thoroughly investigate and compile without omission the provenance and catalogs of items that were possessed,
and for those who possess treasured
rare vessels and antiquities regardless of inherited provenance, not only former samurai but people from all walks of life should be
searched and recorded in detail to create a single volume,
which should be offered to Sakae Shrine, and furthermore printed,
so that future generations may know that the former domain had such retainers
and that there were people who possessed such treasures.
If exhibitions could be held from time to time, would this not be excellent?
This would surely accord with divine will, and the legacy of each family would remain
imperishable for ten thousand generations, and the spirits of ancestors would achieve their
cherished wishes, I believe.
