（前頁より続き）御用に支障をきたすことも見受けられ、且つ近隣領地において不時・火急の御用向き等が生じた際のためにも、本務として仰せ付けられ、会津表の支配向きも附けられることとなった。相州台場が御持前（担当）となったことに伴い、御軍事御用は甚だ大切な事柄であるゆえ、江戸表において御軍事奉行を兼務に置かれ、与力・足軽等はこれまでの通り附属のまま置かれることとなった。且つ、右（台場）は普請の儀については御軍事奉行が専任で担う事柄であるゆえ、最初から掛かりとして仰せ付けられた義であり、およそ他の役場との間の様子を会津へ申し談じるようにしては御用弁（用務の処理）に相成らない事柄もあり、もっとも江戸・会津においては御備組（軍備編成）も異なる事柄ではあるゆえ、御軍政筋の大立たる（重大な）義は格別として、さもなき義はこれまでの形に心得て宜しく取り計らうべき旨、仰せ出された事。
一 同月、御召物（お召し物）の御溜りがあったゆえ、御裏付継（裏地付き継ぎ仕立て）の御上下・御帷子を下し置かれた事。
一 同年十月十八日、御用の義があるゆえ、二十二日に江戸着の積もりをもって出府すべく、右御用が相済むまで原田又助が観音崎に罷り在り、拙者が相勤める形をもって相州表の義を宜しく取り計らうべき旨、仰せ出された事。
一 同月二十日、御用向きを原田又助へ申し続け（引き継ぎを申し述べ）、観音崎を出立し、同二十二日、江戸着致した事。
一 同月二十三日、御前において、繁多（煩多）の場所を数年心を……（次頁へ続く）
英語訳
(Continued from previous page) ...it was also seen that [his absence] would cause impediments to official duties, and also in preparation for unexpected urgent matters that might arise in neighboring territories, he was appointed to this as his primary duty, with oversight of Aizu domain administrative affairs additionally assigned to him. Since the Sagami Province coastal battery (*Sōshū daiba*) had become his domain's responsibility (*o-mochimae*), military affairs duties (*go-gunji go-yō*) were of the utmost importance; accordingly, he was kept on in concurrent capacity as Military Affairs Magistrate (*go-gunji bugyō*) in Edo, with his *yoriki* and *ashigaru* retainers remaining attached to him as before. Furthermore, since construction and engineering matters (*fushin no gi*) pertaining to said battery were exclusively the responsibility of the Military Affairs Magistrate — it being a duty assigned to him as the designated officer from the outset — there were matters in which referring every detail to Aizu through inter-office communications would render it impossible to discharge official duties efficiently. Recognizing also that military preparedness organization (*o-sonaé-gumi*) differed between Edo and Aizu, it was proclaimed that, while major matters of military administration policy (*go-gunsei-suji*) were a separate consideration, all other matters should be handled as heretofore according to established procedure.
Item: In the same month, there being an accumulation of gifted garments (*o-meshimono*) from His Lordship, [he] was granted lined formal upper and lower garments (*o-kamishimo*) and a summer hemp robe (*o-katabira*).
Item: On the eighteenth day of the tenth month of the same year, there being official business requiring attention, [he] was ordered to depart for Edo with the intention of arriving on the twenty-second day. It was further proclaimed that, until said official business was concluded, Harada Matasuke was to remain at Kannonzaki and attend to affairs in Sagami Province in the same manner as [the subject of this record] had been doing.
Item: On the twentieth day of the same month, [he] handed over his official duties to Harada Matasuke (*mōshitsuzuke*), departed from Kannonzaki, and arrived in Edo on the twenty-second day of the same month.
Item: On the twenty-third day of the same month, in the presence of [His Lordship], [an audience was held acknowledging that] for several years [he] had devoted his heart to [this] busy and demanding posting... (continues on the next page)
