1. After breakfast, representative Sokukyū-kane departed to bring the notification document to the West Administrative Office regarding the designated date and time for the wood construction commencement, and returned home after mi-han (around 2:30 PM) to report. Upon appearing at the West Administrative Office, he submitted one notification document stating that wood construction commencement on the coming 2nd month, 4th day had been designated from the Imperial Palace, whereupon Mano Hachirōbei and Yoshihama Sachirō met with him and received it, etc.
23rd day: Clear, rain falling after nightfall
1. After mi-han (around 2:30 PM), word came from the magistrate Ben-dono's administrative staff summoning the shrine representatives, so immediately representative Sokukyū-kane also departed and returned home after inu-han (around 8:30 PM) to report. Upon appearing before the magistrate, [he was told] that the imperial edict messenger would come for an audience the day after tomorrow, the 25th, and that all matters should be handled with careful attention. The names would be given in writing tomorrow, and details would be conveyed through the imperial messenger.
From there he went to the imperial messenger, and when he mentioned the matter of the imperial edict messenger, [the messenger] was absent, so he left word that he would report the details tomorrow and withdrew, etc.
24th day: Cloudy
1. After breakfast, representative Sokukyū-kane also departed and returned home around the uma hour (noon) to report. Upon going to the imperial messenger to inquire about the imperial edict messenger matter, since the Daizen [official] was also not available for consultation, he went to the magistrate to inquire, whereupon he was given written instructions about the messenger who would come bearing the imperial edict for the wood construction commencement date and time on the coming 27th.
Regarding the time schedule, since [the messenger] would proceed from Shimogamo to Kamigamo, the exact timing was unknown, he said.
The copy of the written instructions is as follows:
Coming 27th day: Wood construction commencement
Date and time: Imperial edict delivery
Visiting messenger: Udaishi Tamesaki 《marginal note: Mushika Sado-no-kami》
Vice messenger: Muneoka Tomoyuki
