現代語訳
家財道具類はこなごなになり、川一面に押し流されました。また、人の死骸や馬なども、ことごとく切り刻まれたようになって、夥しい数が流れていきました。夜の五ツ時（午後八時）過ぎになると流れてくるものが減り、それ以降は止まりました。
以上の通り、東葛西領金町村の名主・勘蔵が訴え出た内容でございます。

上州桐生村の善右衛門・嘉兵衛方より
江戸通り二丁目の白木屋出見世紙店にて、白木屋庄右衛門方へ届いた書状の写しは以下の通り。
一、当七月二日の夜六ツ時（午後六時）ごろ、信州浅間山が鳴り出し、砂が少々降り、空が赤く黒くなり、朧月夜のようになりました。同七日も同様の状況でございましたが、四ツ時（午前十時）ごろより泥雨のように降り出し、鳴り音は雷のごとくで、八ツ時（午後二時）ごろになると地震のように激しく揺れ、闇が大変ひどくなり、各家の中にいた者たちは途方に暮れて打ち伏し、あるいは念仏などを唱えておりました。
一、当所より高崎へ十里、伊勢崎へ五里、前橋へ七里（の距離にある当地においても右の通りでございます）。
英語訳
Household goods and furnishings were smashed to pieces and swept across the entire surface of the river. Moreover, the corpses of people as well as horses were likewise torn apart, and a great number of them flowed downstream. After the Hour of the Cock (approximately 8 p.m.), the floating debris began to diminish, and thereafter the flow ceased.
The above is as reported by Kanzō, the village headman (nanushi) of Kanamachi Village in the Higashi-Kasai domain.

Asama in Shinshū [Shinano Province] began to rumble, a little ash fell, the sky turned red and black, and [conditions became] like a misty moonlit night. On the 7th of the same month, the situation was as described above, but from around the Hour of the Rabbit (approximately 10 a.m.), [ash] began falling like muddy rain, the rumbling sounds were like thunder, and by around the Hour of the Monkey (approximately 2 p.m.), [the ground] shook as if in an earthquake, and the darkness became extremely severe. Those who were inside their homes were utterly at a loss and fell prostrate, or chanted nenbutsu prayers.
Item: From our location, it is ten ri to Takasaki, five ri to Isesaki, and seven ri to Maebashi [indicating how widespread the effects were in the surrounding region]...
