現代語訳
一、二十三日、天晴れ。今日、祝詞屋（のりとや）を取り壊す。すなわち、祝言屋（しゅうげんや）の大工より理（ことわり）ありて、日取りを成され候か、または大工の手前次第に建て申すべき候かとの事なり。
〔朱書割書：行事官・神宝経営の事〕
一、同日、用久（もちひさ）・縫殿助（ぬいどののすけ）・右衛門大夫（うえもんのたいふ）らが伝奏（でんそう）へ出向かれる。神宝（しんぽう）の儀（ぎ）を行事官（ぎょうじかん）が仕るべしとのことは、謂（いわ）れなき事にて候と理（ことわり）を申され候えば、伝奏の御返事には、いつ頃より行事官は仕らずして社家（しゃけ）に執行（しゅぎょう）申し候と、旧記（きゅうき）の面（おもて）仕上げ候えとのことなり。畏れ存じ候由にて罷り帰る。
一、同日夜、老若の寄合あり。葵（あおい）下の使（つかい）、雑掌（ぞうしょう）・木工允（もくのじょう）〔朱縦線：季定（すえさだ）・将軍〕が江戸より上られ候につき、将軍様その外家老衆〔朱縦線〕何れもの返事披露なり。例年の如く葵を進上申し候ところ、仕合（しあわせ）よく、家老衆何れも有来（ありきた）りの如く仕合の通り披露なり。すなわち四月一日に御礼申し上げ候由なり。祭礼以前のことながら、当年は前相国様〔朱縦線〕の十三回忌によって、祭礼の頃には日光〔朱縦線〕へ御成（おなり）候由にて候間、すなわち朔日（ついたち）に御礼申すとのことなり。この次に、今日の伝奏の返事、また祝方（はふりがた）の御料屋（ごりょうや）の地形（じぎょう）が今少し高き間、
〔朱書割書：高倉門（たかくらもん）を金堂寺（こんどうじ）門に申し請う事〕
すること申すべき由にて、人足（にんそく）の儀、また高倉門を金堂寺へ申し請い度（た）き趣披露なり。

英語訳
Item: On the twenty-third day, the weather was clear. Today, the norito-ya (hall for the recitation of ritual prayers) was demolished. A carpenters' explanation (kotowari) was given by the craftsmen of the shūgen-ya (hall for celebratory ceremonies), and the question arose as to whether a date should be formally set, or whether construction should proceed at the carpenters' own discretion.
[Red marginal note: Concerning the affairs officer (gyōji-kan) and the administration of the sacred treasures (shinpō).]
Item: On the same day, Mochiiku, Nuido-no-suke, and Uemon-no-taifu went to the Transmission Official (tensō). They argued that it was unreasonable (iware naki koto) that the gyōji-kan (affairs officer) should be the one to oversee the shinpō (sacred treasures) ceremonies. In response, the tensō replied that they should compile a report based on the old records (kyūki) regarding when the shrine family (shake) had taken over the execution of these duties from the gyōji-kan. They returned, having humbly accepted this instruction.
Item: On the night of the same day, a gathering (yoriai) of elders and younger members was held. A report was presented regarding the return of the messengers (tsukai) belonging to the aoi (hollyhock/Kamo hollyhock) mission—specifically the zōshō (administrative officer) and the Moku-no-jō (Junior Assistant of the Bureau of Carpentry) [red vertical marks: Suesada; Shōgun]—who had come up from Edo. They reported that the hollyhock (aoi) had been duly presented as in previous years, and the outcome was auspicious; the senior retainers (karō) of the Shogunate all reported that things proceeded as was customary. It was reported that the formal expression of thanks (o-rei) was made on the first day of the fourth month. Although this was before the main festival (sairei), in the current year, due to the thirteenth memorial anniversary (jūsan-kaiki) of the former Regent (zen-Shōkoku-sama) [red vertical mark], it was reported that [the Shogun] would be making a visit to Nikkō [red vertical mark] around the time of the festival. Therefore, the expression of thanks was offered on the first day of the month. Following this, the reply of the tensō (Transmission Official) from that day was reported, along with the matter that the ground level (jigyō) of the o-ryōya (a designated building for the hafuri ritualists) was somewhat too high.
[Red marginal note: Concerning the petition to use the Takakura Gate as the Kondō-ji Gate.]
It was reported that a request would be made regarding the arrangement of laborers (ninsoku), as well as a petition to use the Takakura Gate in place of the Kondō-ji Gate.
