"Your letter has been respectfully read.
The Shogun is in increasingly good spirits, which is most gratifying.
Regarding the matter of the sankin (alternate attendance) period, it should be inquired about when spring arrives. Following the formal letter presented in the old year requesting inquiry, the matter reached the Shogun's attention as described in your document. It has been decreed that after the same Echizen-no-kami returns to his domain, he should proceed to Edo. Please understand this intention. With utmost respect."
