現代語訳
（前文より続く）…ご見分もなされ、御吟味も積み重ねてこられた儀であり、殊に御老功（豊富な経験）とも申すべく、万事においてご熟練であり、御役筋（幕府役職）への御手続きにも様々な方策をお持ちで、また（松平容衆）御幼年中における御国政の儀をお聞きになるようにとご依頼置きになった経緯等もある儀ではあるが、一時（いっとき）のこととは異なり、永久に引き受ける義であり、殊に武門の所置（武家としての処置）においては、毛頭謙遜・辞譲いたすべき筋ではないので、見込みの程を十分に取り調べてお打ち合わせに相成った。
これに付いては、八丁堀のお屋敷へも度々罷り出て、重役共へも掛け合いに及び、彼方（先方）からも担当者共を遣わされ、細々とお打ち合わせ・御吟味の上、見込みを取り調べて差し出した通り、観音崎・百首・洲之崎・城ヶ島の台場は、何れも枢要（重要）の場所ではあるが、まず御見立（ご判断）の通りにご配置なさるべきこと。灯明堂の儀については、地勢が低くて宜しくないと思われるので、平根山か鴨居村地内の原之台の内へ移転されるのが然るべきこと。陣屋の儀については、追って御持場が定まる節に場所の見立てをご伺いになるべきはずのこと。台場ならびに居小屋（仮小屋）の近辺が他領となっており、その内、敷地のみのお渡しとなっては御備の手配に差し支えが生じるおそれがあるので、近辺を御領分としてお渡し下さるよう願いたい旨、六月九日に下野守様へご進達（申し上げ）になった事。
英語訳
(Continued from previous text)…Having conducted repeated personal inspections and accumulated thorough assessments, and being, as one might say, a man of great experience and expertise in all matters, with a wide range of approaches to official procedures, and given that there had also been an arrangement whereby [Lord Etchu-no-kami] had been asked to advise on matters of domain governance during the minority of [Lord Matsudaira Katahiro]—notwithstanding all of this, the matter at hand was not a temporary undertaking but a permanent commitment, and particularly in regard to the conduct befitting a military house (buke), there was absolutely no reason to show false modesty or to decline. Therefore, the parties came to a thorough arrangement after fully investigating the assessment of the situation.
In connection with this, the parties repeatedly visited the residence at Hatchōbori, engaged in consultations with the senior officials there, and, with persons in charge being dispatched from that side as well, after detailed mutual consultations and examination, the assessment was compiled and submitted as follows: The gun battery emplacements (daiba) at Kannonsaki, Hyakushu, Susunosaki, and Jōgashima are all locations of vital strategic importance, and should be positioned as per the initial assessment. Regarding the lighthouse station (tōmyōdō), as the terrain is low-lying and therefore unsuitable, it would be appropriate to relocate it to either Hiraneyama or within the area of Haranodai in Kamoigōson village. Regarding the garrison quarters (jinya), the site selection should be formally requested at the time the respective patrol areas are determined. As the vicinity of the gun battery emplacements and temporary lodging quarters falls within other lords' domains, and as having only the building plots transferred would likely cause difficulties in organizing the defensive arrangements, a request was submitted on the ninth day of the sixth month to Lord Shimotsuke-no-kami, asking that the surrounding areas be transferred as part of the domain's jurisdiction.
