Since my neighbor Ogino Magouemon is closely related, I wish to open an alley entrance at the residence boundary. Given the current times with few people, in case of emergencies we would like to look out for each other without interference. Although there have been recent edicts, we have strictly enforced security measures. I wish to open this alley entrance. Please handle this matter favorably. Above

Mark: All should be considered
△1. Kansei 4, year of the rat (1792), 4th month, 24th day: Construction magistrate Suzuki Hyakusuke, who previously had no long house, requested to build one, stating in his written application that he wished to demolish it when unnecessary and during residence changes. However, while demolition when unnecessary is acceptable, demolition during residence changes is not proper, so Koma Taitō instructed that this should not happen in the future. Hyakusuke's written application was revised to state demolition only when unnecessary. Regarding storehouses, etc., they may be handled at discretion both when unnecessary and during residence changes.
However, Hyakusuke's stipend is 100 koku. Therefore, for 100-koku stipend recipients, saying they will demolish when unnecessary became acceptable.
