現代語訳
一、水役人たちが願い出ていた雑用銀の件について。社家分所持の下地のうち、本郷掛かり分の石（石高）につき銭二十文ずつを打ち（課し）、その上に二百五十匁か三百匁かをご相談の上で遣わすことになった。まず明日中に若役中へ申し渡し、右の銭を打つべきである。
一、この間、夜分に放埒（無法・放蕩）な振る舞いがあったとのことである。新家分・若衆・百姓たちの区別はわからないが、不埒な義であるから、若役中から申し渡して急度（厳しく）触れるべきである。もっとも七町の行事どもへも申し渡した上で、百姓たちへ厳しくお触れ渡しをなさるべきである。
一、今日、保韶と同道で八つ時（午後二時）頃から祇園の御輿洗い見物に参った。供として銭屋清六を雇った。入夜、河原の涼み見物を船屋にて認め（行い）た。帰路の節に新丸太町の玉屋・いよ方へ立ち寄り、燈灯を借りて帰った。いよ方にて干菓子などを出してもてなしてくれた。今日の雑用は三匁九分で、船屋の払いとして銭九十文、清六の雇い賃六十文であった。保土の方から皆々払い遣わした。
十九日 酉（とり）晴れ。夕方に夕立あり。社中御静鑑、今日より糺の涼みが例のごとし。
一、今日、田方が参集し、本郷掛かり下地の再吟味を行った。
一、評議所にて薪割り（薪の分配）。伊介、河原町前五郎太郎忰半三郎、三平、五郎太郎、以上五人なり。今日、若役の手触れ（通達）あり。本郷掛かり石掛かり石につき二十文を打つこと、および夜分に若衆が放埒なことのないようにとの手触れである。
二十日 戌（いぬ）晴れ。
「放埒之義共無之様」（放埒なことのないよう）

一、先達て評議所にて泥鰌汁の割り合わせ三十五文を学顕へ相渡した。
一、柏屋彦兵衛の手代・喜兵衛が参上し、銀子の催促をした。会所の学顕が対談し、この節ご相談の最中であるから、追々こちらから申し入れる旨を申し渡した。
一、先達て木山奉行へ出頭した衆中が、今日より勘定に掛けられる体（様子）である。もっとも長四郎へも勘定を致して差し出すように申し渡された。保布亭にて博久・業久・哲顕・茂宗・保統・徳季・冨俊・延保らが参集して勘定を行った。
一、昨十九日、川奉行・左京権亮が入来し、御社中にご差し合いがなければ来る二十一日に御戸代会の御料・六郷での魚猟のために堰川（せきかわ）を行いたい旨を尋ねた。明後日は余り急であるので、二十四日になさるべき旨を申し入れた。弥（いよいよ）二十四日に六郷堰川とし、その前日二十三日に六郷への廻状を進める積もりである。今日、執筆がこれを認め置いた。
一、今日、香具屋九兵衛方へ職中より薫香の件を申し遣わした。例年より少々下直（安価）なものを越えるように申し遣わした。
一、大津屋へ芭蕉布一反を染めに遣わした。花色（薄い青紫色）の無地で、紋所はひし橘である。もっとも上下（かみしも）の染めである。
一、堺屋半兵衛より次兵衛が来た。半紙一束・塵紙一束を置いて帰った。半紙は三匁二分、廉紙（塵紙）は二匁五分である。
英語訳
Item: Regarding the miscellaneous expenses silver (zatsuyōgin) petitioned for by the water officials (mizu yakunin): a levy of twenty mon per koku (assessed against the paddy fields under the main village (hongoukakari) holdings belonging to the shrine families) was to be imposed, and in addition to this, either 250 or 300 monme would be sent, subject to consultation. First, within tomorrow, this was to be conveyed to the junior officials (wakayaku), and the said levy of coins was to be imposed.
Item: It has been reported that there was licentious and disorderly conduct (hōraku) during the nighttime recently. Although it is unclear whether those involved were from the new households (shinkae-bun), young men (wakashū), or commoner farmers (hyakushō), the conduct was improper. The junior officials were to issue a strict reprimand. Furthermore, the Seven Blocks' community officials (gyōji) were also to be notified, so that a strict directive could be issued to the farming households.
Item: Today, accompanied by Hoshō, I went to view the Mikoshi-arai (purification ceremony of the portable shrine) at the Gion Shrine, departing around the Hour of the Rooster [approximately 2 p.m.]. Zenroku of the coin dealer (Zeniya) was hired as an attendant. In the evening, we arranged to view the riverside cooling scene from a boat-house. On the way home, we stopped by Tama-ya and Iyo-kata in Shin-Marutamachi, borrowed a lantern, and returned. At Iyo-kata's place, we were treated to dried confections and other refreshments. Today's miscellaneous expenses totaled 3 monme 9 bu: 90 mon for the boat-house bill and 60 mon for Seiroku's hire. All of these were paid by Hodo.
19th Day, Hour of the Rooster — Clear. Evening thundershower. The shrine community is in a period of quiet observation; the Tadasu cooling custom begins today as usual.
Item: Today, representatives from the rice paddy section (ta-kata) assembled for a re-examination of the holdings assessed under the main village jurisdiction (hongō-kakari shitaji).
Item: Firewood distribution (takiwarishimono) at the council hall (hyōgijo). Those present: Isuke, Kawaramachimae Gorōtarō's son Hanzaburō, Sanpei, and Gorōtarō — five persons in total. Today's notification from the junior officials: a levy of twenty mon per koku under the main village assessment, and a directive that the young men (wakashū) should refrain from disorderly nighttime conduct.
20th Day — Clear.
[Marginal note: "So that there may be no disorderly conduct" (hōraku no gi tomo naki yō)]
Item: Today also, firewood distribution at the council hall. The laborers were the same as yesterday.
Item: The exchange officers (kawase-kata) assembled for an examination of accounts.
Item: A congratulatory letter (yorokobi-jō) addressed to Lord Iwaki Zenzaemon was drafted and sent, as requested by the secretary.
Item: A congratulatory letter of one bu (ichibu) value was composed by Hodo for Lord Numano Mikiyoshi of Hamamatsu, and left at the assembly hall for delivery.
Item: A levy of twenty mon per koku was assessed against the main village holdings. Hodo's transit paddy field holdings: 5 koku, 4 shō, 8 gō, 8 shaku; household domain (karyō) holdings: 2 koku, 1 tō, 4 shō, 4 shaku — combined total of two entries: 7 koku, 1 tō, 8 shō, 9 gō, 2 shaku, yielding a total levy of 148 mon. This was brought to Ōmi-no-suke, acting representative of the junior officials, but since he was away from home, it was left with his wife (inner consort) and I returned.
Item: Previously, at the council hall, a share of loach soup (dojō-jiru) of 35 mon was handed over to Gakuken.
Item: Kahokuya Hikobei's clerk, Kibei, came to call and pressed for payment of the silver owed. Gakuken of the assembly hall spoke with him, and informed him that the matter was currently under discussion and a reply would be forthcoming in due course.
Item: It appears that the members who had previously appeared before the Timber Mountain Magistrate (Kiyama Bugyō) will be subject to account-settling (kanjō) starting today. Furthermore, Chōshirō was also instructed to submit his accounting. At the Hohutei (a gathering place), Hirohisa, Gyōkyū, Tetsuki, Shigemu, Yasunori, Tokusue, Tomitoshi, Nobuyasu, and others assembled to conduct the accounts.
Item: On the 19th, the River Magistrate (Kawa-bugyō), Sakyō-no-gonnosuke, came to call and inquired whether, if it did not conflict with the shrine community's schedule, he might carry out the damming of the river (sekikawa) for fishing rights (gyoryō) at the six villages (Rokugo) under the prerogative of the Otodai-kai on the 21st of the coming month. Since the day after tomorrow would be too soon, it was conveyed that the 24th would be more suitable. Accordingly, the damming at Rokugo was set for the 24th, and a circular letter to Rokugo was to be dispatched the previous day, the 23rd. The secretary drafted this today.
Item: Today, instructions regarding fragrance offerings (kunko) were sent on behalf of the officers to Kagoya Kubei. It was communicated that the quality should slightly exceed the usual, somewhat more economical grade used in previous years.
Item: One tan of basho-fu cloth (woven from banana fiber) was sent to Ōtsu-ya for dyeing. The color is hana-iro (a pale blue-violet), plain, with a family crest motif of hishi-tachibana (diamond-shaped tachibana mandarin orange). This is for the dyeing of a kamishimo (formal two-piece garment).
Item: Tsugibyei came from Sakai-ya Hanbei. He left one bundle of hanshi (half-paper) and one bundle of chiri-gami (rough paper) and departed. The hanshi was priced at 3 monme 2 bu, and the chiri-gami at 2 monme 5 bu.
