（前ページより続き）水野左近将監様の御披露により、その後、西御丸へ罷り上がり、檜之間において内府様へ差し上げ物として御太刀・馬代を差し上げたところ、西尾隠岐守様に御謁見なされたこと。
一、同年七月、欽文様の御事実編集の御用を取り仕切るよう仰せ出されたこと。
一、同年十月六日、御休息の間へ召され、当春以来、非常の辛労を致したとのことを、懇ろなる御意をもって仰せ下され、御筆による御書ならびに御画手綱二筋を御手ずから下し置かれたこと。
一、同月七日、江戸を出立し、会津へ罷り下ったこと。
一、同月、欽文様の御遺物として、染め御小袖・白御小袖・裏付き継ぎ御上下・白御帷子を下し置かれたこと。
一、同六未年（文政六年）四月、先達て御入部の御礼の御使いを仰せ付けられるべき旨、御内意を仰せ出され、御着城の日に差し登るべきところ、持病の脱肛に勝ち難き由を聞し召され、暑さの折に長途急の旅行は格別に難義を致すことであろうと思し召されたことによって、御城ならびに御老中様・若御年寄様への御使いのみ相勤め、その余については御用捨なされ、余人に仰せ付けられるべき旨、仰せ出されたこと。
英語訳
[Continued from previous page:] Through the formal announcement (o-hirō) by Mizuno Sakon-shōgen-sama, he subsequently proceeded to the Nishi-no-maru (the Western Enclosure of Edo Castle), where, in the Hinoki-no-ma (the Hall of Japanese Cypress), he presented a ceremonial sword (o-tachi) and a payment in lieu of a horse (umashiro) as offerings to Naifu-sama (the former Shogun/head of the Tokugawa main family), whereupon he was granted an audience with Lord Nishio Oki-no-kami.
One item: In the seventh month of the same year, he was ordered to take charge of overseeing the compilation of the official record of Lord Kinbun's deeds and life (go-jijitsu henshū).
One item: On the sixth day of the tenth month of the same year, he was summoned to the o-kyūsoku (the lord's private resting chamber), where the lord graciously expressed in person that he had labored with extraordinary effort since that spring. He was personally presented, from the lord's own hand, with a piece of calligraphy written by the lord himself (go-fude no o-sho) and two decorative reins featuring the lord's painted design (o-e-tazuna).
One item: On the seventh day of the same month, he departed Edo and traveled down to Aizu.
One item: In the same month, as personal effects (i-motsu) of Lord Kinbun, he was bestowed with: one dyed small-sleeved robe (some-o-kosode), one white small-sleeved robe (shiro-o-kosode), a lined and patched formal hakama set (uratsugi-o-kamishimo), and a white summer robe (shiro-o-katabira).
One item: In the fourth month of the sixth year of the Sheep cycle [Bunsei 6, 1823], he had previously received an internal indication (go-naī) that he would be ordered to serve as the official messenger (o-tsukai) for the ceremonial greeting following the lord's entry into the domain (go-nyūbu no o-rei), and he was to depart for Edo on the day the lord arrived at the castle. However, upon hearing that he was unable to overcome his chronic ailment of rectal prolapse (datsu-kō), and considering that a long, hurried journey during the heat of the season would cause him exceptional hardship, it was therefore decreed that he need only fulfill the duties of messenger to the castle and to the Senior Councilors (o-rōjū-sama) and the Junior Councilors (waka-o-toshiyori-sama), and that the remaining duties would be excused and entrusted to another person.
