遠方の場においては標準（基準・前例）が立たない事情があるため、職掌を詳細に取り調べ、その他、台場・見張番所の掟、陣屋掟、御門制、海探の次第書等を取り調べる。治官の御用向きについては、観音崎会所に御用役を仰せ付けられ、郡奉行・御代官および手附の役々、穿鑿方（調査担当）・御普請方・御勘定方・武具方等の役々の支配も、それぞれに遣わさなければならないところ、人員を増やさないよう合役・兼務等にて遣わされることとなった。およそ相州（相模国）表の万機（あらゆる事務・政務）の取り行いの体裁をなすにあたっては、ただ大小（規模）の違いがあるだけで、すべて会津の御政事の体制と一々相備わらないことはなく、言わば「小会津」とも申すべき程のことがある。殊に会津にはその例もないことながら、御領分内に公領（幕府直轄地）および給地（家臣への知行地）が数多く入り組み、東海道筋に隣接し、その外、御領内に御米印地（米を収入源とする）の寺社も少なくなく、海岸に関わる諸々の計らい等、一々枚挙すべからざることどもではあるが、新規かつ不案内な事柄も多くあり、殊に御家（会津藩）の御手切れ（関係断絶）にならないよう、多分に公儀（幕府）・他家へ引き連れられる（折衝・協力を要する）こともあるため、最初の手の下しよう（着手の仕方）が至極大切な事柄である。ついては向々（各方面）の承求（情報収集・伺い）を行い、御代々にわたる御取り行いの有ってきた趣を土台とし、土地の風習に適うよう追々吟味・取り詰め（検討・追究し）、地所の御引き渡しが済み次第、罷り越して（赴いて）、御備え方・治官の方ともにそれぞれ手の下しを致す手はずにて、御引き渡しを相待ち（待ち受け）……

...since there are no established precedents or standards (*hyōjun*) applicable to such a remote posting, the duties and responsibilities of each officer are to be investigated in detail. In addition, the regulations for the battery positions (*daiba*) and watch-posts (*mihari-bansho*), the rules for the garrison headquarters (*jin'ya*), gate regulations (*o-mon-sei*), and the procedural documents for maritime reconnaissance (*kaitanshi*) are all to be investigated and compiled.
Regarding the administrative officers' (*chikan*) conduct of official duties, an *o-yōyaku* (administrative affairs officer) was appointed to the Kannonzaki administrative office (*kaisho*). While it was necessary to assign various officers—including a *kōri-bugyō* (district magistrate), an *o-daikan* (local administrator), and their attached staff (*tetsuke*), as well as officers for investigation (*sensakukata*), public works (*o-fushinkata*), accounts (*o-kanjōkata*), and armaments (*buguykata*)—along with their respective subordinate organizations, arrangements were made to have these roles fulfilled through combined appointments and concurrent duties (*gōyaku kenmū*), so as to avoid increasing the overall number of personnel.
In all, the conduct of every manner of affairs (*bankī*) on the Sagami (*Sōshū*) front will take on the outward form and substance of proper governance; and apart from merely differing in scale, there is in fact no aspect of Aizu's administrative structure that is not replicated here in its entirety—so much so that it might well be described as a "Little Aizu" (*ko-Aizu*). Moreover—though there is no precedent for such a thing within Aizu itself—the domain's territorial holdings are extensively intermingled with *kōryō* (Shogunal directly-administered lands) and *kyūchi* (retainer-enfeoffed lands); the territory borders the Tōkaidō highway; there are also numerous temples and shrines within the domain whose revenues are drawn from rice (*o-kome-inchi*); and the various matters pertaining to the coastline are so numerous as to defy individual enumeration. Since many of these are unfamiliar new matters, and since there will inevitably be considerable dealings with the Shogunate (*Kōgi*) and other domains—dealings which must not be allowed to damage relations with our house—the manner in which these matters are initially approached (*saisho no te no kudashiyō*) is of the utmost importance. Accordingly, inquiries and consultations (*shōkyū*) are to be conducted with all relevant parties, using the precedents established through successive generations (*o-daidai*) as a foundation, while gradually deliberating and refining approaches suited to local customs and conditions (*tochi no fūshū*). Once the formal handover of the territory (*jisho no o-hikiwatashi*) is completed, officers will proceed to the posting, and both the defense officers (*o-sonaekata*) and administrative officers (*chikankata*) will be ready to begin their respective duties in a coordinated fashion—all awaiting the formal handover...
