現代語訳
鮮鯛一折を築地御屋敷（一橋の御下屋敷）まで進呈された。
但し、当春一橋の御屋形が焼失したため、この時期、小五郎様は築地御屋敷に御住居されていた。
一橋の御家老・細井飛騨守が敷台・板之間まで出迎えられ、御屋敷内を案内し、それより奥御座敷において、小五郎様へ御目見えを仰せ付けられ、御自らの手をもって御長鮑を下し置かれた。
但し、この時、御乳母が御側において取り計らった。
右が終わって、最前の御座敷において飛騨守が御返答を申し達し、勘解由は退出した。
但し、御直答なさるべきところ、御幼年のため飛騨守をもって御返答があった。
一、同日、小五郎様の御名の儀につき、宗矩様より御用掛・御老中の堀田相模守《割書：正亮》殿へ、御留守居・津田九右衛門《割書：盛恕》をもって御伺書を差し出された。
小五郎の儀、名を改めるよう仰せ出されたため、別紙の通り名を改めたく存じ候。以上。

英語訳
...one box of fresh sea bream was presented and delivered to the Tsukiji residence (the Hitotsubashi lower residence).
Note: As the Hitotsubashi main residence had burned down during the previous spring, Lord Kogorō was at this time residing at the Tsukiji residence.
The Hitotsubashi chief retainer (okarō), Hosoi Hidano-Kami, came out to meet the messenger at the entry step (shikidai) and the anteroom (itanoma), guided him through the residence, and thereafter in the inner reception room (oku-ozashiki), Lord Kogorō was made to receive him in audience, and with his own hands bestowed a large dried abalone (onagaawabi) upon him.
Note: At this time, the wet nurse (onme) was at his side and attended to the proceedings.
When the above was concluded, in the front reception room (saizen no ozashiki), Hidano-Kami conveyed the reply, and Kageyu withdrew.
Note: Although a direct reply (jikitō) would have been appropriate, owing to Lord Kogorō's young age, the reply was delivered through Hidano-Kami on his behalf.
1. On the same day, regarding the matter of Lord Kogorō's name, Lord Munenori submitted a written inquiry (oukagaisho) to the Senior Councilor in charge (oyōgakari), Lord Hotta Sagami-no-Kami 《marginal note: Masasuke》, through the resident keeper (orusui) Tsuda Kūemon 《marginal note: Morihiro》.
As it has been commanded that Kogorō's name be changed, I intend to change his name as stated on the attached document. Respectfully submitted.
