現代語訳
一、それから御錠口で同席の衆一同が竹之間へ回り、自分は席に残って居た。程なく御礼の衆が済んで寄ってくる様子なので、見計らって鴛鴦の御杉戸前へ着座していた。備中守殿が羽目之間へお出座になり、御目付の会釈があり、山吹之間を通って出て羽目之間へ向かった。同所の御柱右之間から出て、備中守殿から一畳ほど置いて中に、それから進み出て奉書を受け取り、また一畳ほど置いて着座した。奉行執当へは御伝言として「先格の通り心得申すべきか」と相伺ったところ「先格の通り心得、諸事念を入れるよう」と仰せ聞かされ退去した。それから自分の留守居が中之口に居たので、奉書を同人へ相渡した後退出した。明朝出立のため暇乞いとして老衆を回って勤め、御用番のみ届けを申し置いて九時過ぎに帰宅した。

英語訳
1. From there, all my colleagues went around to the Take-no-ma at the main entrance, while I remained in my seat. Soon it appeared that the courtesy ceremony participants were finishing and gathering, so I gauged the timing and took my seat in front of the Oshidori sliding doors. Lord Bitchū-no-kami appeared in the Hame-no-ma, the inspector offered guidance, and I passed through the Yamabuki-no-ma and headed toward the Hame-no-ma. Emerging from the right room of the pillar area there, I positioned myself about one tatami mat's distance from Lord Bitchū-no-kami in the center, then advanced to receive the official document, and again seated myself about one tatami mat away. To the magistrate official, I inquired through official message: "Should I follow precedent as before?" I was told "Follow precedent as before and be diligent in all matters," received this instruction, and withdrew. Then, since my own caretaker was waiting at the middle entrance, I handed the official document to him and departed. For tomorrow morning's departure, I made farewell visits to the elders as duty required, submitted notification only to the duty officer, and returned home after the ninth hour.
