現代語訳
一、明和六年(丑年)正月、御代官兼務を仰せ付けられた件
一、同年十二月、近年差し迫った御用がある際、地下米金調達の件について精を出し、急な御用のお凌ぎに相成ったことに付き、御褒美として綿二把を下し置かれた件
一、安永四年(未年)十二月、願いの通り御代官兼務を御免成され、御城御番相勤めた件
但し辞役願いの通り、病気一通りにも無く、支配所が窮所にあることの上、不作にて御収納方を始め全て取り計らい方がこの末難渋に相見え、見込みが無いとのことであるが、未だ中途で吟味をも相遂げない儀であるので、金の当時取り立て納め下がり等が相分からない時節にある。もっとも一統手柄の義であるので、及ばないまでも尽力紛骨して御取り立ての筋を致すべく勘弁の儀であるところ、御取り立て肝要の時節に病気と申しながら辞役を申し出た段、甚だ相当でない義に思し召される。この段叱るよう仰せ出された件
一、同六年(酉年)六月、御代官兼務を仰せ付けられた件
英語訳
1. In the 1st month of Meiwa 6 (1769, Year of the Ox): He was appointed to concurrently serve as district magistrate (daikan).
1. In the 12th month of the same year: When urgent official duties arose in recent years, he worked diligently on procuring rice and money from the common people, which helped tide over urgent official needs. For this, he was rewarded with two bundles of cotton.
1. In the 12th month of An'ei 4 (1775, Year of the Sheep): As requested, he was relieved of his concurrent duty as district magistrate and returned to serving castle guard duty.
However, regarding his resignation request: although he claimed no particular illness, his administrative district was in dire straits, and due to poor harvests, tax collection and all administrative matters seemed to face difficulties with no prospects for improvement. Since investigations were still incomplete and it was unclear when current tax levies and collections could be determined, this was indeed a time requiring collective effort. Even if inadequate, he should have devoted himself wholeheartedly to tax collection efforts. Yet at this crucial time for tax collection, despite claiming illness, his request for resignation was deemed highly inappropriate by his lord. He was ordered to be reprimanded for this matter.
1. In the 6th month of the same 6th year (1777, Year of the Rooster): He was again appointed to concurrently serve as district magistrate.
