現代語訳
懇切に申し聞かされ、その他調役の富山元十郎殿が当所に宿泊の節、兼ねてから今度の御用をお頼みしていたので、保助方から精一杯申し入れをし、なお直接にも面談して厚くお頼みし、御役筋でも厚く手配していただいたところ、とかく整わない状況である。
一、同所滞在中、各軍の持領を戒める令条を取り調べるよう源助が申し聞かせた。令条のほか細密にその主旨が分かるよう取り調べ、その他各隊の渡船の大小に応じて乗組み手分けの次第を、臨時にどのようにでもなるよう、一手・別手の振り分けをもって四手・五手にもなり、不都合のないよう綿密に切り盛りし、兼ねてから各隊に示し置くよう取り計らった件。
一、同月十九日、青森逗留の節、津軽越中守様から佐藤市右衛門を御使いとして旅宿に遣わされ、御懇切なお言葉で安否をお尋ねになり、干菓子一折を下された。
ただし、右の御菓子は隊下の者どもに分配して頂戴した。
今度の件は公儀の御用で格別とは申すものの、道筋の御領主方があれこれと御丁寧な御仕向けをしてくださり、とりわけ津軽家の件は別けて御念入りの件どもで、旅宿の取り扱いや人馬の継立てなど、その他ともに一通りでない御振る舞いがあり、御家老の奉札をもって御人数一統に度々

Additionally, when Investigative Officer Tomiyama Genjuro stayed at this place, since we had previously requested his assistance with this official business, Hosuke's party made earnest appeals to him, and we also met with him directly to make urgent requests. Although he made thorough arrangements through his official channels, things somehow could not be properly organized.
1. During the stay at that location, Gensuke instructed that regulations for restraining each military unit's territorial conduct should be investigated. In addition to the regulations, [he ordered] detailed investigation so that their main intent would be clearly understood, and that arrangements be made for the assignment of crew members according to the size of each unit's transport vessels, so that they could be flexibly organized into four or five groups using primary and auxiliary unit arrangements as needed, managing everything meticulously without inconvenience, and ensuring that each unit was informed in advance.
1. On the 19th of the same month, during our stay in Aomori, Tsugaru Echizen-no-kami sent Sato Ichiemon as his messenger to our inn with kind words of inquiry about our welfare, and presented us with a box of dried confections.
Note: The aforementioned confections were distributed among the subordinate members of the unit.
Although this matter is extraordinary government business, the domain lords along our route have shown various courteous considerations. Particularly regarding the Tsugaru house, there have been especially attentive arrangements - the handling of lodging, relay of horses and men, and other matters have all been conducted with extraordinary consideration. Through formal letters from their senior retainers to our entire force on multiple occasions...
