（前頁より続き）有章院様の御法事があるにつき、今日より（幟を）立てられた。
一、五月二日、増上寺にて、
有章院様の三十三回忌御法事が執り行われるにつき、
義丸様より御使者として、御書院番頭・天方数馬（友祥）を以て、同所の坊丈（住職）へ、
御香典として白銀二枚を献じられた（昨一日に御伺い済み）。
但し、右の御香典の儀につき、松平益之助殿の御勤向（担当）として、薩摩守殿の留守居へ問い合わせ及んだところ、益之助殿においては御目見えが相済むまでは御勤めなき由、去月二十七日に返答が申し来た。しかるところ、義丸様においては、先頃、至心院様の御法事の節も御伺いの上、御香典を差し上げられた故、此の度も御伺いがあったところ、昨一日に御差図があるにつき、献じられた。
一、同月十一日、御用番・堀田相模守（正亮）殿より御呼び出しがあり、
宗矩様より御留守居・大谷一右衛門（良次）を差し出されたところ、左の通り、
御書付を以て仰せ出された。
義丸の儀、来る十五日、西丸大奥へ登城候様致すべく候。以上。

英語訳
(Continued from previous page) ...as memorial services for Lord Yūshōin were being held, the banner was raised from this day onward.
One entry: On the second day of the fifth month, at Zōjō-ji Temple,
As the thirty-third anniversary memorial service (kaiki) for Lord Yūshōin was to be conducted,
Lord Yoshimaru dispatched as his messenger the Head of the Palace Guard (gosho-in bangashira), Amagata Kazuma (personal name: Tomoyoshi), to the temple's chief priest (bōjō),
and offered two pieces of white silver as a condolence gift (kōden). (This had been confirmed by inquiry on the previous day, the first.)
Note: Regarding the above condolence offering, an inquiry was made to the caretaker (rusui) of Lord Satsuma-no-kami concerning the duties of Lord Matsudaira Masunosuke, to which the reply came on the twenty-seventh of the previous month that Lord Masunosuke had no such duties until his first formal audience (omemie) was completed. However, as Lord Yoshimaru had previously made an inquiry and offered a condolence gift on the occasion of the memorial service for Lord Shishin'in as well, he made a similar inquiry this time, and having received authorization on the previous day, the first, the offering was duly presented.
One entry: On the eleventh day of the same month, a summons was received from the Duty Councilor (goyōban), Lord Hotta Sagami-no-kami (Masasuke),
and Lord Munenori dispatched his caretaker (rusui), Ōtani Ichiemon (Yoshitsugu), whereupon the following was announced by written notice (kakitsuke):
Regarding Yoshimaru, arrangements are to be made for him to proceed to the Ōoku of the Nishi-no-Maru on the fifteenth of this coming month. That is all.
Fifth Month
One entry: The fifteenth day of the fifth month (assembly of the escort party at the fifth half-hour [approx. 7:30 a.m.])
