差し上げ申す一札の事
一、当秋の宗門再御改めの儀について、この節々々御用が多くございますので、今年の儀については私共で人別を相改めるよう仰せ付けられ、恐れ入って承りました。町代・組頭立ち合いのもと相改め申したところ、春中の御改めの通り、宗門並びに人別について少しも相違ございません。
一、人別増減の儀については別紙に認め、帳面を差し上げ申します。
右の通り町中入念に相改め申したところ、疑わしい儀は少しもございません。万一何か宜しくない義がございまして御聞きに及びましたならば、何分の越度にでも仰せ付けられるべく候。後日のための連印証文を差し上げ申すところ、以上の通りです。

Document of Submission
Regarding the matter of the autumn re-inspection of religious sects: As there are many official duties at this time, we have been ordered to conduct the population census ourselves this year, which we humbly accept. Under the supervision of town representatives and group leaders, we have conducted the inspection and found that the religious affiliations and population records are exactly as they were during the spring inspection, with no discrepancies whatsoever.
Regarding increases and decreases in population: These are recorded on a separate sheet, and we submit the ledger accordingly.
Having carefully inspected the entire town as described above, we found nothing suspicious. Should anything improper come to your attention, we are prepared to accept whatever punishment you deem appropriate. We submit this jointly signed certificate for future reference.
