現代語訳
たカルタ札は一から九までの数はあるけれども、その余の勝負の仕方については分からなかったという。
一、食物について：山中には食物小屋があり、そこへ参って食事をする者もいるけれども、万次郎は麦粉を買い取り、ニューベッドフォードでの食物「ブレッド」と呼ぶ物を作り、豚牛の塩肉その外野菜は芋を自分で煮炊きして用いることで、前書きのニューベッドフォードと特に変わることはなかった。
一、家作について：板葺きでニューヘイブンの家造りと同様であるが、一体に粗末である。この所の家は北アメリカ州で材木を切り込み、同様にサクラメントまで船で持参し、それから山路へ建家したという。
一、山より所々見通しの良い場所もあるけれども、城郭のような所は見えなかったという。
一、土地について：麓は砂地で、山中は岩と泥が多く、山は深く高山が立ち重なり、山々を見渡すと凡そ二百里余もあるようで、山中の所々に湖水又は溜池もあるという。サクラメントから金山麓まで山路には楠に似寄った樹木があり、金山の深く入った所では樹木もなく、禿山であるという。
一、草木鳥獣等は前書きのニューベッドフォードの様子に全く
英語訳
The playing cards had numbers from one to nine, but he did not understand the other rules of the game.
1. Regarding food: There were food huts in the mountains, and some people would go there to eat, but Manjiro bought flour and made what was called "bread" (the same food as in New Bedford). For salted pork and beef, and vegetables like potatoes, he cooked them himself, which was not particularly different from what he did in New Bedford as mentioned earlier.
1. Regarding house construction: They were built with wooden boards, similar to the house construction in New Haven, but generally crude. The houses in this place were made with timber cut in North America, transported by ship to Sacramento in the same manner, and then carried by mountain road for construction.
1. From the mountains, there were places with good views in various locations, but no castle-like structures were visible.
1. Regarding the land: The foothills were sandy, and the mountains had much rock and mud. The mountains were deep with high peaks layered upon each other, and looking across the mountain ranges, they seemed to extend for about two hundred ri. There were lakes and ponds in various places in the mountains. On the mountain road from Sacramento to the gold mine foothills, there were trees resembling camphor trees, but deep in the gold mines, there were no trees—just barren mountains.
1. Regarding plants, trees, birds, and animals: They were exactly like those in New Bedford as mentioned earlier...
