現代語訳
（前頁より続き）……（繁多の場所を数年）心を込めて出精し相勤めたことにつき、格別の訳をもって若年寄格に仰せ付けられ、常詰御用人主役御雇勤を仰せ付けられた。御補佐筋の義については、御補佐に弐勤（二番勤め）の形をもって相勤むべき旨、仰せ出された。御次の間において纏・馬印、会津においては乗物を只今までの通り御免（使用許可）とされ、若年寄並（に準じる）同心料を下し置かれ、御用の書状には連名加判には及ばず、諸役撰（諸々の役の選定）については御用捨（免除）とされた。且つ、台場御備・御軍事御用の儀については、御仕居（担当業務が落ち着く）に相成る迄、当分の間、掛かりとして心得え、吟味・尋ねの儀はもちろんのこと、存じ寄り（意見・提案）の儀も差し控えずに申し出るべき旨、仰せ出された事。
一 同年十一月、長坂平大夫の上屋敷を下し置かれた事。
一 同年十二月、御補佐に弐勤（二番勤め）につき、御出先へ相詰める節、御供の役々はもちろんのこと、その他、御出先において差し懸かり候御用向きは諸事宜しく差図に及ぶべし。
寿鳳院様御用の儀も兼ねて司り、御用人が罷り在らぬ節は御用が支障なきよう取り計らうべし。
殿様の御介添え・御供には及ばない旨、仰せ出された事。
一 同九申年（安政三年）正月、兵学師範を御免（免じられ）、これまで御用多き処、出精し相勤めたことにつき、御小袖の代として絹一疋・綿を添えて下し置かれた旨、仰せ出された事。
一 同年三月十三日、御前において、相州台場一件の御用……（次頁へ続く）
英語訳
(Continued from previous page) ...[having] devoted himself wholeheartedly and served diligently at [this] busy and demanding posting for several years, [he] was, by special dispensation, appointed to the rank of Junior Elder (*wakadoshiyori-kaku*), and was appointed to serve as a hired principal among the permanent-duty chamberlains (*tsune-zume go-yōnin shuyaku o-yatoi-kin*). Regarding supplementary advisory duties (*go-hosa suji*), it was proclaimed that he was to serve in the capacity of second-duty supplementary advisor (*go-hosa ni-ban-kin*). In the *o-tsugi* antechamber, [the use of] standards (*matoi*) and horse insignia (*uma-jirushi*), and in Aizu, the use of a palanquin (*norimono*), were all permitted to continue as before; stipend at the level of Junior Elder (*wakadoshiyori-narai dōshin-ryō*) was granted; [he] was exempted from co-signing official correspondence (*renmei kajō*); and [he] was excused (*go-yōsha*) from participating in the selection of various posts (*shoyaku-sen*). Furthermore, it was proclaimed that, until matters concerning the coastal battery defense preparations (*daiba go-sonaé*) and military affairs duties (*go-gunji go-yō*) had settled into a regular routine (*go-shiki ni naru made*), [he] was to consider himself the officer in charge on a temporary basis, and that not only was he to conduct investigations and inquiries as a matter of course, but he should also not hesitate to submit his own opinions and proposals (*zonjiyori*).
Item: In the eleventh month of the same year, the upper residence (*uké-yashiki*) of Nagasaka Heidae was granted to [him].
Item: In the twelfth month of the same year, regarding his service as second-duty supplementary advisor: when attending upon [His Lordship] at destinations away from the castle, it was proclaimed that he should exercise direction and oversight over all matters as appropriate — not only over the retainers serving as escorts, but also over any official business that arose at such destinations. He was also to concurrently oversee matters pertaining to Lady Juhōin (*Juhōin-sama*), and when the chamberlain (*go-yōnin*) was not in attendance, he was to manage affairs so that no impediment to her service arose. It was further proclaimed that he need not serve as personal attendant (*o-kaésoé*) or escort to the Lord.
Item: In the first month of the same ninth year, the year of the Monkey [Ansei 3, 1856], [he] was relieved of his appointment as instructor in military science (*heigaku shihan*). In recognition of his diligent service despite the abundance of official duties up to that time, it was proclaimed that he was granted a bolt of silk (*kinu ippiki*) with cotton added, in lieu of a kosode robe (*o-kosode no daé*).
Item: On the thirteenth day of the third month of the same year, in the presence of [His Lordship], official business concerning the Sagami Province coastal battery (*Sōshū daiba ikken*)... (continues on the next page)
