○【朱】二十五 申し上げ覚え
別紙の通り、庄屋中両伝馬組合村々役人共から海部郡日和浦御陣屋へ、阿波郡筋から御出張・御交代の御役人の御荷物送り夫の義について、昨巳年から上往来麻植郡伝馬筋の御往通の御手形を御仕出しになり、御往通の義が筋違いでございますが、右の伝馬所において送り夫が差し支えるのでは、差し当たり御用に支障を来たし恐れ入ることになりますので、御差し支えにならないよう無拠相勤めておりますが、往々このようなことになっては、兼ねてより当郡の伝馬の義は分けても御用が繁く、百姓共が重々迷惑をお掛けしており、右のような外役を相勤める段について迷惑を歎き出ております。
つきましては、兼ねてより阿波郡筋へ徳島から御出郷される諸御奉行様方の御通行の義は、中鮎喰通り伝馬筋を御往通なされる御仕居になっておりますところ、前述の通り阿波郡筋から南方筋への御出張の御役人送り夫の義は、御仕居の通り中往来伝馬筋の御手形を御仕出しいただきたい旨、私共の手元まで願い出た義でございます。
右のような筋違いの伝馬筋夫勤めを仰せ付けられては外役になり、右の伝馬組の百姓共が至極迷惑いたしております。

○【Red ink】Twenty-five Memorial
As stated in the separate document, from the village headmen of both post-horse station cooperative villages to the Hiwada-ura magistrate's office in Ama District: Regarding the matter of porters for transporting the luggage of officials on official assignment and rotation from the Awa District area, since last year (Mi year), travel permits have been issued for the upper route through the Oe District post-horse stations, and although the routing is irregular, if there were disruptions in porters at these post-horse stations, it would immediately cause delays in official business, which would be most regrettable. Therefore, we have been performing these duties unavoidably to prevent such disruptions, but if this continues, since the post-horse duties in our district are already particularly busy with official business and the farmers are suffering greatly from the burden, they have complained about the hardship of performing such additional duties.
Therefore, while officials traveling from Tokushima to the Awa District area have customarily used the Naka-Ayukui route post-horse stations as established practice, for the transport porters for officials traveling from the Awa District area to southern areas as mentioned above, we request that travel permits be issued for the middle route post-horse stations according to established practice, which has been petitioned to us.
If such irregular post-horse station porter duties continue to be assigned, this becomes an additional burden, causing extreme hardship to the farmers of these post-horse station groups.
