一、元禄十六年（1703）十二月三日
惣代が御伝奏のもとへ出頭したことに伴う寄合の件について、惣代が以下のとおり披露した。
「このたび、権祝までの次第転任がお命じになられたので、小折紙を差し上げるべき旨をお達しになった。また、致久（権祝）・片岡祢宜・松下民部・木舟祢宜・林宮内権大輔重元より申し上げるべきである。ついては、右の段について、一社より重元方へ貴布祢祢宜の小折紙を差し上げるべきか否かとのお申し入れがあった。返答として申し越されたのは、どのようにも一社のご指図次第である、とのことであった。よって、返答に接したうえで、小折紙を認めて差し上げることに決まった。即日、小折紙を持参し、それより二条御奉行所へ右の趣を届けた。夜に入って役人衆が帰宅されるとのことで、四日に持参して差し上げた。」
一、去年お命じになった当社権祝職について、本日、伝奏より権祝職の次第転任をお命じになられましたので、お届け申し上げます。以上。

英語訳
One: Third Day of the Twelfth Month, Genroku 16 (1703)
Regarding the assembly (寄合) held in connection with the shrine representatives' appearance before the Imperial Court Liaison (御伝奏), the representatives reported the following:
"On this occasion, the sequential transfer (次第転任) up to and including the position of Gon-hafuri (provisional officiating priest) has been ordered, and it was conveyed that a small folded paper (小折紙, formal acknowledgment document) should be submitted. Furthermore, the matter should be reported by: Chikyu (Gon-hafuri), the Kataoka Negi (祢宜, senior priest), Matsushita Minbu, the Kifune Negi, and Hayashi Miyauchi Gonno-Taifu Shigemoto. Accordingly, regarding the above, an inquiry was made as to whether the one-shrine community should send a small folded paper from Shigemoto to the Kifune Negi. The response received was that the matter would be entirely as directed by the one-shrine community. Based on this response, it was decided that a small folded paper would be composed and submitted. On the same day, the small folded paper was brought in person, and the gist of the matter was reported to the Nijō Magistrate's Office (二条御奉行所). As the officials were said to be returning home late in the evening, the document was delivered on the fourth day."
One: Regarding the position of Gon-hafuri (provisional officiating priest) at our shrine, as ordered last year — today, an order for the sequential transfer to the position of Gon-hafuri was issued by the Court Liaison. We hereby submit this notification. Respectfully.
