（前文より続く）…お渡しする処、地元へのお引き渡しの件もあるかもしれないので、右の御用向きについては当分の間、現地において総司（惣司）を仰せ付けられ、元奉行職の形をもって今後の指示に及び、よろしく取り計らうべき旨を仰せ出された事。
一、同月七日、出発して江戸表へ上り、御備方の御用を相勤めた事。
一、同年四月十二日、浦々（各浦・海岸部）を見分（視察）するため、公儀（幕府）の御役人衆ならびに松平越中守様の御家来一同が江戸表を出発し、台場および陣営等の各所を見分し、五月二日に江戸へ帰府した。
但し、当二月二十六日に異国船漂流への御手当のため、浦賀辺り・房総の浦々へ大筒台場等を御取り建てになり、御家（当家）ならびに越中守様の御引受けを仰せ付けられ、右浦々の最寄りにて御領分の内で御引き替え下さるべき間、御家…
【朱書】◦御備筋について厚く仰せ付けらるべき旨を仰せ蒙り、同日御備を仰せ付けられた。浦々の様子を巡見するため、御家来を差し遣わされた。◦△先達って大筒台場となるべき所々を荒ましに【朱書】差し遣わされた。△
見分があったけれども、右に拘わらず十分にご了簡（ご検討）なさって、仰せ付けられるべき旨を青山下野守様がお達しになり、さらに御勘定奉行衆からも浦々大筒台場の儀については、かねて荒ましに見分を仰せ付けられていたけれども、その個所々々について治定（確定）した事でもないので、先日お達しがあった通り、掛り役人が巡見の上、前後・向背にも限らず、たとえ場所が隔たっていたとしても、その所に頓着なく、当該箇所の儀についても右の外に相増し候…
英語訳
(Continued from previous text)…Regarding the handover to the local area, as there may be such matters, concerning the aforementioned official duties, a General Superintendent (Sōji) was to be appointed in the area on a provisional basis, and in the form of the original magistrate post (moto-bugyō-shoku), instructions were to be issued going forward, with orders given to manage affairs appropriately.
One: On the 7th of the same month, [he] departed and traveled up to Edo to perform duties related to defensive preparations (o-sonae-kata).
One: On the 12th day of the 4th month of the same year, for the purpose of inspecting the various coastal areas (ura-ura), officials of the bakufu (public authorities) and retainers of Lord Matsudaira Etchu-no-kami departed together from Edo to inspect the coastal batteries (daiba) and camp installations at various locations, returning to Edo on the 2nd day of the 5th month.
Note: On the 26th day of the 2nd month, in response to the drifting of foreign vessels, coastal batteries (ōzutsu daiba) were to be constructed along the Uraga area and the coastal regions of Bōsō, and our house along with Lord Etchu-no-kami were ordered to take charge of this. As the areas in question were near our domain's territory and could be exchanged within the domain's boundaries, our house…
[In red ink]: ◦ Having received orders to give full attention to matters concerning defensive preparations, on the same day orders for defensive readiness were issued. Retainers were dispatched to conduct an inspection tour of the condition of the various coastal areas. ◦ △ Previously, a rough survey of sites suitable for artillery batteries was [in red ink] dispatched. △
Although an inspection had taken place, regardless of the above, Lord Aoyama Shimotsuke-no-kami gave notice that the matter should be fully deliberated and orders issued accordingly. Furthermore, from the Commissioners of Finance (o-kanjō-bugyō-shū), it was communicated that although a rough preliminary survey of artillery battery sites along the coast had been ordered, since specific locations had not yet been finalized, as had been communicated recently, the responsible officials were to conduct inspection tours and, without being limited by considerations of direction or orientation, even if the locations were remote, without being overly particular about specific sites, additional locations beyond those already identified were also to be added…
