Item: The wording of the accompanying letter (soejō) for the large official pass (ō-tegata) from Iijima, as follows:
I humbly write to you. Now that the weather has grown warmer, I trust that each of you gentlemen continues to be in good health and to carry out your duties with ever-greater diligence — this I sincerely appreciate.

Although I am aware this is a great imposition, I respectfully ask that you arrange for the counter-seal (ura-han) to be completed [on these documents]. I write this so that you may be informed of the situation.
