（前頁からの続き）
ございますので、なかなか容易に見取りの件はお申し付けになることは難しゅうございます。十分に相談いたしまして、何とかご都合のよい方法がありましたら、こちらからご意向をお伝えいたします、とおっしゃいましたので、ご多用の中、特に大暑の折、まことにご苦労なことではございますが、お世話ながらお暇の折にご相談・ご検討くださいますようお頼みして帰りました。
中宿にて休息。その後、保韶は河原町の真珠院様へ参上し、保土は帰途に宝鏡寺宮へ参上し、そこから帰郷。清蔵口あたりから大夕立となり、しばらく様子をみて、七つ過ぎ頃に帰郷。程なく保韶も帰郷。右の趣旨をおおよそ学顕へ申し入れ、退出。（供の仲間：権兵衛・彦右衛門、小者：喜八・金八）
一、今日、宝鏡寺宮にて保樹より話があった。この間、江戸表の柴田権左衛門から書状が到来し、山本嘉内は急ぎ浜松へ引っ越すよう仰せ渡された。寺田彦之進はこれまで嘉内と万事申し合わせていたため、役職をお取り上げになるとのことである。嘉内は浜松到着後、役職をお取り上げとなるとの噂もある。嘉内の代わりには岩城善左衛門が江戸家老に任じられ、江戸へ出府するとの噂である。嘉内の内室・お逸殿は今度大病とのことである。今回の不首尾によりますます気力も落ち、今回は本復も心もとないとのご推察がお伝えくださった。
一、保韶は今日、三本木の富之助殿のお屋敷へも土用中のご機嫌うかがいに参られたが、折しも後藤番内が留守で、申し置かれたので、その沙汰も承らなかったとのことである。
一、さん、蝦蟇温病（がまのおんびょう）にて、今日から宿へ帰した。もっとも煎薬は与えている。
十八日 庚申 微雨
一、昨日予定の月次の寄合が延期となり、今日開催。出席者：神主 正久・保韶・博久・庸清・兼令・冨清・哲顕・季脩・保統・季宝・季首・保鹿徳・季甫・国清・杜顕・保布・富俊・史顕・保覚・保土・直安。会所にて学顕が披露。
一、去る十二日、周防介・起顕が亭（会所）へ参集し、近日中に惣代の小堀数馬の手代・曽我喜左衛門へ参る予定なので、先んじてその旨を内意としてお申し置きになるようにとのお頼みがあったこと。
一、同日、入夜に五十嵐源五から触れ状が到来したこと。（前に見えたり。）（付記：□□三軒町柏屋梅の倅・亀吉、十歳、先達て失ったが、この節判明した由である。）
一、去る十三日、五十嵐から触れ状が到来。内野相生町の大坂屋平兵衛の養子娘・しも、八歳になる者の行方が知れないとのことである。
一、同日、柏屋彦兵衛の手代・喜兵衛が参上し、会所にて対談。当月限りの銀子をいつ頃お渡しくださるか、うかがいに参った由。また来る二十日に当地へ寄る機会があるので参上するとのことを申して帰った。
一、入夜に光丸大夫が会所亭まで入来し、口上書を差し出したこと。書き留めは以下の通り。
御届申上候口上（届出の口上）
故・主殿少允の後妻さのについて、去る秋に主殿少允が死去した後、何の申し分もなく相続しておりましたところ、今春になって、世忰（継嗣）の光丸大夫をはじめ親類一同へ一言の相談もなく、少ない家財ながら売却し、家出をいたしました。早速尋ねましたところ、京都へ嫁いだとのことでございます。これにより、主殿少允の跡相続が難しくなったため、何とか立ち帰って世話をしてほしいと申し出ましたが、使者にも面会せず、どうしようもない状況でございます。かかる不所存なるにも関わらず、彼方から見捨てて他家へ嫁いだ以上は、主殿少允の家と離縁し、親子の情も断絶したものと存じます。そうである以上は、この後さのの身分において如何様のことが起きましても、私どもが差し構えることはない筋と存じます。かねてより御社中にご聞き置きになっていただきますよう、ご届けとして申し上げます。以上。
英語訳
(Continued from previous page)
...since this has been established for so long, it would be quite difficult to order a reassessment of the yield (mitorikuchi). We will confer thoroughly, and if there is any way that might work in your favor, we will inform you of our intentions from this end—so they told us. Since you are so busy, and especially in the great heat of summer, it is quite a burden on you, but we asked them to please consult and look into the matter whenever you have a moment, and then we departed.
We rested at the middle lodging (nakayado). Afterwards, Hosho went to call upon the Shinju-in at Kawaramachi, while Hodo stopped at Hokyoji Palace on the way home, and then returned to the home district. From around Seizokuchi, a great evening storm broke out, and we waited a while before returning home past the seventh hour (around 4 PM). Shortly after, Hosho also returned home. The gist of the above was reported to Gakuken, and we withdrew. (Accompanying retainers: Gonbei and Hikoemon; attendants: Kihachi and Kinpachi.)
Item: Today at Hokyoji Palace, Hoju related the following. A letter had arrived from Shibata Gonzaemon in Edo, ordering that Yamamoto Kanai move to Hamamatsu with all haste. Since Terada Hikonoshin had coordinated with Kanai on all matters, it is said that Hikonoshin's position has been revoked. There is also a rumor that Kanai's position was revoked after his arrival in Hamamatsu. As Kanai's replacement, the rumor is that Iwaki Zenzaemon will be appointed as the Edo house elder (Edo-garō) and will proceed to Edo. Kanai's wife, Lady Otsu, is said to be gravely ill at this time. It is speculated that the recent setback has further sapped her strength, and there is concern that she may not recover this time.
Item: Hosho today also went to call upon Lord Tominosuke's residence at Sanbongi during the summer heat period (doyo), but as Goto Bannai happened to be away from home, he left a message, and accordingly has not heard anything further from there.
Item: San (a person's name), suffering from "Gama no Onbyo" (a type of fever illness), was sent home to her lodgings starting today. She has, however, been given herbal decoctions.
18th Day, Kanoe-Saru, Light Rain
Item: The monthly gathering (tsukiji no yoriai), which had been postponed from yesterday, was held today. Those in attendance were: Head priest Masahisa, Hosho, Hirohisa, Yasukiyo, Kanenori, Tomikyo, Tetsuki, Suenaga, Yasumune, Suetaka, Suekazu, Hoshoroku, Sueko, Kunikiyo, Moriki, Hofu, Tomitoshi, Fumiki, Hokaku, Hodo, Naoyasu. At the assembly hall (kaisho), Gakuken made the announcements.
Item: On the 12th of last month, Suonomi and Okiaki visited the assembly hall, saying that they intended to visit Sogō representative (sōdai) Kobori Kazuma's agent Soga Kizaemon in the near future, and they requested that the relevant parties be informally notified of this intention beforehand.
Item: On the same night, a notice (furejō) arrived from Igarashi Genzo. (Already mentioned before.) (Marginal note: [Name illegible], from Sanbonmachi Kashiwaya Ume's son Kameichi, age 10, had gone missing previously but has now been located, it is said.)
Item: On the 13th, a notice arrived from Igarashi, stating that Shimo, the adopted daughter of Osaka-ya Heibei of Uchino Aioimachi, age eight, has gone missing.
Item: On the same day, Kibei, agent of Kashiwaya Hikoemon, came to call and spoke at the assembly hall, asking approximately when this month's silver (payment) would be delivered. He also said he would come again around the 20th, when he would have occasion to visit this area.
Item: In the evening, Komaru-tayu came to the assembly hall and submitted a written statement (kōjōgaki). The record is as follows:
Formal Written Notification
Regarding Sano, the second wife of the late Tonomo-no-shojo: After Tonomo-no-shojo's death last autumn, she continued in her position as successor's wife without complaint. However, this past spring, without a single word of consultation to the adopted heir Komaru-dayu or to any of the relatives, she sold off what little household property there was and left the home. Upon immediately inquiring into her whereabouts, we were told that she had married into a household in Kyoto. As a result, the continuation of Tonomo-no-shojo's lineage has been put in a very difficult position, and we asked her to return and take care of things, but she would not even meet with the messenger, and there is nothing to be done. Given such irresponsible conduct—that she abandoned our household of her own accord and married into another family—we consider this equivalent to a divorce from Tonomo-no-shojo's household, and that the parent-child bond of affection has been severed. Under these circumstances, whatever may occur hereafter regarding Sano's personal affairs, we believe it to be outside the purview of our household to interfere. We respectfully request that the shrine community take note of this matter. We submit this notification accordingly. Respectfully.
