現代語訳

守が申し上げたところ上聞に達した。また進上された土産の品々を数の如く披露したところ、御喜色快然として遐懐を安んじられるべし。委曲は薩摩守より達すべきものである。恐々不宣

六月三日の一翰を薩州太守充久より伝えられ手に入れ披読した。去年、子の使者具志州が来貢し、我が両大君を拝し奉り、暇を賜って還国し厳命を述べ、恩賜された数品を目録の如く忝く拝し感載した。また具志州及びその従僕等に下された物は皆泰らかで、その旨を知り歓喜の余り屏営の至りに堪えず、使者兼城を薩州に遣わして御礼を申し上げた趣を薩摩守が吐露し、台聴に達して御喜色があり、遠想を労することなかれ。就中、余が足下に贈った物並びに具志州に授けた物は、誠にこれ軽少なる寸志を表すところであったが、その述べられた謝辞は慇懃の至りである。而して今土宜三種を寄せられ、数の如く領受した。異域遠程にその芳情を以って喜ぶべし。猶薩摩守に馮りて告諭すべし。恐々不

英語訳

the Lord reported, and it reached His Lordship's ears. Moreover, when the various local products that were presented were displayed according to their inventory, His Lordship's countenance showed great joy, and you may set your distant heart at ease. The details shall be conveyed through the Lord of Satsuma. With fear and reverence, I leave this unsaid.

In reply　　King of Chūzan
　　　　　　Before the residence

I received and read the letter of the third day of the sixth month, transmitted from the Governor of Satsuma Province, Mitsuhisa. Last year, your envoy Gushishū came to pay tribute, reverently met our Two Great Lords, was granted leave to return to his country, conveyed the strict commands, and humbly received with gratitude the numerous items bestowed according to the catalog. Moreover, the items granted to Gushishū and his attendants brought peace to all, and knowing this intent, in the excess of joy and unable to contain his humble anxiety, he sent the envoy Kaneshiro to Satsuma Province to express gratitude. The Lord of Satsuma disclosed this matter, and when it reached His Lordship's ears, there was great joy—do not trouble yourself with distant thoughts. Particularly regarding the items I presented to you and those granted to Gushishū, these were truly expressions of my modest sincerity, yet the words of gratitude expressed were most earnest. Now you have sent three types of local products, which I have received in full. From such a distant foreign land, your thoughtful sentiment is cause for joy. I shall still rely on the Lord of Satsuma to convey this message. With fear and reverence, [unsaid]
