【女房御奉書について】
この他に、女房御奉書の写しを持参した。
女房御奉書については、御文庫に保管されているかもしれないが、神主預かりの箪笥には見当たらないため、御文庫を開けることも適切かどうかということで、宮内保韶の屋敷へお借りする旨を申し遣わしたところ、保韶が参上した。そこで御借用として、奉書三枚続きのものを保土が写し、原本はすぐに保韶へ返却した。女房御奉書の写しは別紙に添えてある。
【泥深池村の百姓による訴願】
小寄会の最中に、泥深池村の年寄・勘右衛門、甚介、行事・三郎兵衛、その他の惣百姓が出てきて、次のように願い出た。「街道の裏側では水が流れておらず田植えができず、今日まで手始めもできていない者がおります。街道表の田は概ね田植えが済んで水も十分に張っておりますのに、街道の東側へはまったく水が流れてきません。何とか御見分いただきますよう」とのことであった。今日、担当の役人・三河守が私用で上京しているため、紀伊守が招かれて対応した。「皆さんはいったんお帰りいただき、すぐに見分を行う」と申し渡したが、百姓たちは待って御供すると言って退こうとしなかった。そこで「すぐに検分に参るので、その際に田の現場で願いがあれば申し上げるように。まずここはお引き取りを」と年寄たちに申し付けて退かせた。急いで水役人たちを召し、紀伊守が尋ねたところ、水役人たちは「泥深池の百姓たちの言い分は不当だ」と申し立てた。しかしながら、願い出があった以上は一度御見分をしないわけにはいかないとして、三河守が帰り次第ご相談されるよう、紀伊守に申し入れた。
【田の検分】
この件について、紀伊守から京都へ使いを送り、三河守が早々に帰郷した後、両人同道で田の現場の検分に出かけた。
【申の刻前、惣代業久・保覚の帰郷報告】
申の刻前に、惣代の業久・保覚が帰郷し報告した。「日野弁殿のもとへ参上したところ、雑掌の石井主水が出てきたので、願いの趣旨を申し入れ、両通ともに差し出した。弁殿はただいま御朝参中にて御所へ持参するとのことで、しばらくお待ちくださいとのことであった。主水がすぐに戻ってきて申し聞かせるには、『弁殿のご指示として、聞き届けられた。とりあえずそのまま置いてお帰りになってよい』とのことであった」。保覚が申すには、「勝手がましいことではありますが、この節は殊の外の渇水で田植えは一刻を争っておりますので、中宿にてでもお控えしましょうか」と申したところ、「その件もさきほど申し上げたので弁殿に申し上げたが、いずれにせよまずお帰りになるように」とのご指示であったので退出した。この旨を御伝奏へ届け申し上げて帰郷した。
【泥深池の田表見分の結果】
三河守・紀伊守が田の現場の見分から帰った後の報告。泥深池の者たちが今朝も浄土寺田の水を引き植え付けをするよう水役人たちが申したところ、「人馬の手当てがつかない」と言ったとのことである。そのように言いながら一社（賀茂社）へ見分を願うのは不都合であるとして、「とにかくできる限り人馬の手配をして、少しずつ植えるように」と三河守が申し付けたとのことであった。
【水役人の役料米について】
今朝の小寄会の際に披露があった。当年に任命された水役人・又左衛門・六郎兵衛両名の役料米の件は、年番中へ申し達し、お渡しすることに一決した。
【今宮神輿払い】
今日、今宮の神輿払いが行われた。当年は練物などが数多くあったとのことである。

英語訳
**Regarding the Lady's Official Letter (Nyōbō Gohōsho)**
In addition to the above, a copy of the Lady's Official Letter (Nyōbō Gohōsho) was brought along.
Regarding the Lady's Official Letter, it was uncertain whether it was stored in the document repository (Bunko), as it could not be found in the chest kept by the shrine priest. Since opening the repository seemed inadvisable, a request was sent to the residence of Kunai Hohō asking to borrow it. Hohō came in person, and with the document on loan, Hohodo made a copy of the three-sheet letter in succession. The original was promptly returned to Hohō. A copy of the Lady's Official Letter is included as a separate document.
**Petition from the Villagers of Doroike**
During the small assembly (Kojima-kai), the village elders Kanemon and Jinsuke, the village official Saburōbei, and other villagers of Doroike came forward and made the following petition: "Water does not flow to the back side of the highway, making rice planting impossible, and there are those who have not even begun as of today. While the paddies along the front of the highway are largely planted and have ample water, water does not reach at all to the east side of the highway. We humbly request that an inspection be carried out." Since the official in charge, Mikawa-no-kami, was away in Kyoto on private business that day, Kii-no-kami was summoned to handle the matter. He instructed the villagers to return home for now, stating that an inspection would be conducted shortly. However, the villagers refused to leave, saying they would wait and accompany the official. Therefore, they were told: "We will conduct the inspection shortly, so if you have any petitions at the site, please raise them then. For now, please withdraw from this place." The village elders were thus instructed to withdraw and did so. The water officials (mizu-yakunin) were promptly summoned, and when Kii-no-kami questioned them, they stated that the villagers' claims were unreasonable. Nevertheless, since a petition had been made, it was determined that an inspection must be conducted at least once, and it was communicated to Kii-no-kami that the matter should be discussed upon Mikawa-no-kami's return.
**Field Inspection**
Regarding this matter, Kii-no-kami sent a messenger to Kyoto, and after Mikawa-no-kami returned promptly, both officials went together to conduct an inspection of the paddies.
**Report by Representatives Narihisa and Hokaku Before the Hour of the Monkey (around 4 p.m.)**
Before the Hour of the Monkey, the representatives Narihisa and Hokaku returned and reported as follows: "Upon visiting Lord Hino no Ben, the shrine steward (zōshō) Ishii Mondo came out to meet us. We explained the purpose of our petition and submitted both copies. We were told that Lord Ben was currently attending morning court and had taken the documents to the Imperial Palace, and were asked to wait a while. Mondo soon returned and informed us that, by Lord Ben's instruction, the petition had been received and acknowledged, and that we were free to leave as is for now." Hokaku stated: "Though it may seem presumptuous, since the drought is exceptionally severe this season and rice planting is an urgent matter of every moment, we asked whether we might wait at the inn. However, since this too had already been communicated to Lord Ben, who said in any case we should return home, we withdrew accordingly." The matter was reported to the Imperial Messenger (Go-Densō) and they returned home.
**Results of the Doroike Field Inspection**
After Mikawa-no-kami and Kii-no-kami returned from the field inspection, the following was reported: The water officials had told the Doroike villagers to draw water from the Jōdoji paddies and begin planting that very morning, but the villagers claimed they could not arrange the necessary labor (people and horses). While making such claims and yet petitioning the Kamo Shrine for an inspection was deemed improper, Mikawa-no-kami instructed them: "By all means, make every possible arrangement for labor and plant the paddies gradually."
**Stipend Rice for Water Officials**
Announced at the morning small assembly: it was unanimously decided that the stipend rice (yakuryō-mai) for the two water officials appointed this year, Matasaemon and Rokubei, would be communicated to the year-duty officials (nenban-chū) and disbursed accordingly.
**Imamiya Mikoshi-Harai (Palanquin Purification Ceremony)**
Today, the Imamiya Mikoshi-Harai (purification of the portable shrine palanquin) was held. This year, it was said that there were a great many procession floats and parade elements.

**The 19th Day, Hour of the Dragon (around 7–9 a.m.), Clear; Light Rain at Dusk**
Immediately after breakfast, a small assembly was held. Those in attendance were: Shrine Priests Masahisa, Narihisa, Kanenori, Noriki; Toshitoshi's representative Moriyuki; Hokaku; Hohodo; Scribe Naoyasu; Assembly Hall Official Kaneta; Water Management Officials Suenaga, Shigemune, and others.
