御城で御渡しがあり、御家来への拝領物等は例の通りであった
一 十月二十六日 御判物御頂戴の御礼として、御使者笹治尚膳《正方》が御時服
拝領を仰せ付けられた件の御礼のため、江戸表へ御書を差し出した
一 十月二十九日 御判物御用掛りの朽木民部少輔《植元》殿のもとへ御留守居
宮北十郎左衛門《定由》が出向いたところ、御領知目録の御渡しがあった《昨二十八日御留守居
まで御切紙が来た》
一 十月晦日 大目付中より左の通り御廻状が来た
覚
居屋敷のみで他に屋敷所持が無い者の抱え
屋敷も囲いは取り払い、家を差し置くことは勝手次第である
若し居宅が類焼の時、抱えの家に住居することになった
間は、家の廻りに当座の囲いは構わないが、住居しない時に
囲いを差し置くことは成らない旨、最前に仰せ出されたが、常々
囲いが無ければ難儀をするであろう。その上、囲いの広狭も火事
の際には俄かには決め難いであろうから、この節より家
の廻りのみに随分狭く囲いをすること。もっとも家よりどの
程度の廻りに囲いをしたい旨を横田備中守殿・嶋田佐渡守・
佐々木五郎右衛門・山岡助右衛門まで申し達し、指図次第にすること
以上

There was a ceremony at the castle, and rewards for retainers were distributed as usual

and a letter was sent to Edo as gratitude for this appointment
One: 29th day of 10th month - When caretaker
Miyakita Jūrōzaemon《Sadayoshi》 visited Lord Kuchiki Minbu-shōsuke《Uemoto》, who was in charge of official documents,
he received the domain registry catalog《yesterday on the 28th, an official note came
to the caretaker》
One: Last day of 10th month - The following circular notice came from the chief inspectors
Memorandum
For those who possess only residential estates and no other properties, regarding their subsidiary
estates, fencing may be removed and houses left as desired
If residences are damaged by fire and one must live in subsidiary houses
during that time, temporary fencing around the house is acceptable, but when not residing there,
leaving fencing in place is not permitted, as previously announced. However, having
no fencing at all times would cause hardship. Moreover, the width of fencing would be difficult
to determine suddenly during fires, so from now on, fencing should be made
as narrow as possible around houses only. Details of how far
around the house one wishes to fence should be reported to Lords Yokota Bicchū-no-kami, Shimada Sado-no-kami,
Sasaki Gorōemon, and Yamaoka Sukeemon, and action should be taken according to their instructions
The above
