現代語訳
（前頁より続き）一統落着した事柄であり、数年後に御領分が旧来に復した後も、なおさら御家（会津藩）のことを格別に追慕しているとのことで、誠に難有い御事である。その外、諸向き総じての取り行い、公辺（幕府）並びに他家への引き張り（交渉・対応）、ことごとく新規の事柄ばかりであったところ、追々仕居（任地への赴任・滞在）に向かい、両御陣屋詰めの者の葬地を見立て、望みに随い与えられるといった類いの取り計らい、内和（内部での和解・調整）の義など、一々枚挙し難い。
殊に御勘定方の儀については、此度の御入方（出費）は大造（多大）な事柄であったところ、御備方（軍備・防備）に掛かる義は御費えを厭われる様もないとは言え、公辺・他家への引き張りによる御入費に相成る廉（かど）多く、兎角出方（支出）が増に相成ったゆえ、能々（よくよく）止むを得ない義は格別として、兼ねての御内証振り（内々の財政事情）も有之につき、厚く吟味し取り詰め、非常に打ち詰め（徹底的に節減し）、聊かたりとも無用の費えなきよう、御国力が延びるよう差図（指図）に及んだところ、仕居方（任地滞在）未だ半ばの内に転職（転任）を仰せ付けられ、相州表（相模国方面）引き払いとなった。しかしながら、江戸常詰めにて相州の儀の掛かりに置かれた故、諸事取り計い掛りの廉々（諸件）について、仕居方の儀をなお又厚く申し談じ取り計らい申した事。
一 同年八月、会津において田中鉄次郎が御軍事奉行を仰せ付けられた。これは先頃内存（ないぞん）の次第を申し出した趣も有之、江戸常詰めに置かれては会津表の武備の儀相隔たり（遠くなり）……
英語訳
(Continued from previous page) ...all matters having been brought to a satisfactory settlement. Even after several years had passed and the domain territories had reverted to their former administration, [the people] still expressed special fond remembrance of our house [the Aizu domain], which is a truly gratifying matter.
Beyond this, the general conduct of all affairs, including dealings with the Shogunate (*kōhen*) and negotiations with other domains, were entirely novel undertakings. Yet, as [the official] proceeded to take up residence at his post, he saw to such matters as identifying burial grounds for those stationed at both domain offices (*go-jinya*) and granting [them] according to individual wishes, as well as managing internal reconciliations — too numerous to enumerate one by one.
In particular, regarding the accounting and fiscal affairs (*go-kanjō-kata*): the expenditures on this occasion were immense. While there was no question of begrudging costs that pertained to military preparedness (*go-sonaé-kata*), there were many items of expenditure arising from dealings with the Shogunate and other domains, and outgoings tended to increase in any case. Therefore, apart from those expenditures which were upon careful consideration truly unavoidable, and taking into account the pre-existing state of the domain's internal finances (*go-naishō-buri*), [the official] directed [all concerned] to conduct thorough and rigorous scrutiny, pressing economy to an extreme degree, so that not even the slightest unnecessary expenditure remained, and that the domain's financial strength (*go-koku-ryoku*) might be preserved and extended. However, before he had completed even half of his term of residence at his posting, he was ordered to a new position (*tenshoku*) and recalled from Sagami Province (*Sōshū-omote*). Nevertheless, since he was kept on in his capacity regarding Sagami affairs while on permanent duty in Edo (*Edo jō-zume*), he continued to consult carefully and attend to the various outstanding matters pertaining to his former posting.
Item: In the eighth month of the same year, at Aizu, Tanaka Tetsujirō was appointed Military Affairs Magistrate (*go-gunji bugyō*). This was in part owing to the fact that he had previously submitted a proposal based on his own considered views (*naison*), [arguing that] if he were kept on permanent duty in Edo, he would be too far removed from military preparedness affairs at Aizu...
