現代語訳
御届け申し上げた通り、昨日西御役所において、この度御所司代が欠員のため警固がない旨を申され、それにつき昨夜から只今まで方々段々と相願い、東西御役所で御掛け合いがあったところ、何分警固の儀は関東（幕府）へ窺いがあり、御下知がまだない内は難しく出せない旨に決定した段を申され、甚だ当惑致しております。勿論正遷宮の度々において警固がない例もございませんので、この上は何卒よろしく御取り計らい下され、御附けなりとも御下知も下されるでしょうか。何分警固があるよう願い及んだ旨を申し入れたところ、則ち申し上げ、追って出逢い申されたのは、口上にては如何でしょうか間、書付を上げるべき段を仰せ渡され候につき、季栄が申したのは、書付候儀は格別のことゆえ例の通り言上書に致すべく候。そのようでは私一人の名前にては如何かと大膳まで申したところ、また申し上げ、左候ばば両名にてよくよく相調え、書付を早々差し上げるべき段、もっとも書付を差し出し次第御参内成されるとのことである。仍って早々帰郷し掛りへ申し入れ、書付出来て持参したのは左の如くである。
謹んで言上
本宮正遷宮の節は先格にて所司代より警固を差し出され候につき、この度の儀も前々の如く御役人中相願い候ところ、昨夜西御役所にてこの度所司代が欠員につき警固は差し出しない旨を申し渡され候。これにより再び社中から、大切の正遷宮ゆえ何卒何れの役人中にても警固があるよう仕度く、段々月番東役所へ書付を以て相願い候ところ、御取調べがあり候えども、全体所司代警固の儀は関東へ相窺われ、まだ御下知がないゆえ成すべき様がない旨にて願書を差し返され候。前々より正遷宮の節、勅使以下御参向の御儀、固めがなくては執行仕し候例もござなく、一社一同嘆かしく恐れ入り奉存じ候。武辺の儀は右の次第にござ候えば、社中からは願い出る様もござなく候。御敬神の御儀にござ候えば、この上は格別の御沙汰を以て宜しく（見せ消ち：御取計｜被仰付）下され候様、一社一同奉願い候。以上
英語訳
As reported, yesterday at the Western Office, it was stated that there would be no security due to the vacancy of the Shoshidai position. Regarding this matter, from last night until now, various requests have been made and consultations held between the Eastern and Western offices. However, it was decided that security matters require inquiry to the East (the shogunate), and since no directive has yet been received, it would be difficult to provide. This has caused great confusion. Certainly, there has never been a precedent for formal relocation ceremonies proceeding without security, so we earnestly request that proper arrangements be made and directives issued, even if it means providing some form of escort. When we conveyed our desire for security to be provided, it was reported, and later when we met, it was said that oral communication would not suffice, and a written petition should be submitted. Suenaga stated that since submitting a written document was a special matter, it should be done as a formal written report as usual. When he mentioned to Daizen that it might be inappropriate for him alone to sign, it was further reported that both names should be used to carefully prepare and promptly submit the document. It was also stated that imperial audience would be granted once the document was submitted. Therefore, he quickly returned home, consulted with the responsible parties, and brought the completed document as follows:
Respectfully Submitted
Regarding formal relocation ceremonies of the main shrine, according to precedent, security has been provided by the Shoshidai, so for this occasion as well, we requested the same from the officials as before. However, last night at the Western Office, we were informed that due to the Shoshidai vacancy, no security would be provided. Consequently, the shrine community again requested that security be provided by whichever officials possible, since this is an important formal relocation ceremony. We submitted written petitions repeatedly to the monthly duty Eastern Office, and although investigations were conducted, we were told that since Shoshidai security matters require consultation with the East and no directive has been received, nothing can be done, and our petitions were returned. From ancient times, there has never been a precedent for conducting formal relocation ceremonies without security when imperial messengers and others participate. The entire shrine community finds this lamentable and deeply concerning. Since military affairs are as described above, the shrine community has no other recourse for appeals. Since this concerns reverence for the divine, we humbly request that special consideration be given and appropriate measures be taken. The entire shrine community respectfully petitions for this. That is all.
