現代語訳
け、焼き立て、手向かいした者は殺された由。江戸は有り増しの大炎になっている由。終日皆々大騒ぎしたところ、十七日夜に入ると、更に跡方もないことの由。もっとも十三日吉原にて歩兵が乱暴を働いたため、酒井様の御人数にて十六、七人切り殺した由にて、歩兵三百人ほど吉原に押しかけたところ、仲裁人が出て事なく御引きになった由。右の沙汰と早駆けが参ったとの間違いであろうか。
十八日（二十六度） 大霜、寒気、快晴
昨日早打ちにて水戸表が騒動した訳は、小石川御屋形の荘庄左衛門殿三男が十六日御番にて御殿へ詰めていたところ、俄かに乱心したこととみえ、諸所より直ちに早駕籠にて御国元へ十六日夜八つ時頃着いた。江戸表に大変が起こり、何方の人数であろうか、三十人五十人ずつ所々へ散乱しており、芝辺から品川辺、また千住辺等所々へ火をかけ、芝辺は大火の様子。殊に千住辺の通り筋に十四、五人も死人があった趣。追々大変の様子につき、外に両人、保々早打ちにて御国元へ下った者があったところ、未だ着かないとすれば、定めて途中にて殺されたこととみえる由申すにつき
英語訳
...setting fires, and those who resisted were killed. Edo has become engulfed in tremendous flames. Everyone was in great uproar all day, but when night fell on the 17th, it turned out to be completely unfounded. However, on the 13th, foot soldiers caused disturbances in Yoshiwara, so Lord Sakai's forces cut down sixteen or seventeen of them. When about three hundred foot soldiers then pressed toward Yoshiwara, mediators intervened and they withdrew peacefully. This report may have been confused with the urgent messenger that arrived.
18th day (26 degrees) Heavy frost, cold, clear
Yesterday's urgent dispatch reported that the disturbance in Mito domain occurred because the third son of Lord Shō Shōzaemon of the Koishikawa residence, who was on duty at the palace on the 16th, suddenly went mad. Urgent palanquins were dispatched from various places directly to the home domain, arriving around the eighth hour of the night on the 16th. A great incident occurred in Edo, with groups of thirty to fifty men of unknown affiliation scattered in various locations, setting fires from the Shiba area to Shinagawa, and also around Senju and other places. The Shiba area appeared to be in great conflagration. Particularly along the main road in the Senju area, there were reportedly fourteen or fifteen dead bodies. As the situation appeared increasingly serious, two other men were sent as urgent messengers to the home domain, but since they have not yet arrived, it appears they were likely killed en route.
