現代語訳
一、同年五月、御軍器（武器・兵器）の製作について数年にわたり辛苦を尽くし、永久の備えとして見事に成就したことにより、御羽織の代わりとして絽（薄絹）一反、御帷子の代わりとして晒し木綿一反を下し置かれた。
一、同年六月七日、御前において常詰御用人頭取を仰せ付けられ、席は奉行の上位とする旨を仰せ出された。御次の間において纏・馬印・会津での乗物御免、ならびに同心料はこれまで通りとされた。
寿鳳院様のご用も兼ねて相勤めること、凡そ勤め方については先年この御役を勤めた際の通りに心得ること、御幼年様のことについては特に御成育の筋に心を配り、御介添・御供もご用人と同様に相勤めるべきこと、御軍事奉行の職については後任が仰せ付けられるまでは兼務するよう、これに関しては御台場一件もこれまで通り担当として心得るべき旨を仰せ出された。
ただし、朝の御膳以前より出仕し、終日詰め切って在るべきことは、御用人一同が隔日に相勤め、宿番は致さないこととする。
一、同日、御内証方（藩の財政・内部経済）のご不如意の上、近年御物入（出費）が打ち続き、いよいよ御難渋が増しているため、止むを得ず自他邦の金の貸し先へ御返済を年賦等にて断り、自然と御手前（藩の経済）が成り立つようにし、月々の御入用の配賦をもって手詰めの御金を備え、いささかでも増出方（支出超過）となった場合は繰り合わせに必至と差し支えがある。御内証（藩財政の内実）…
英語訳
Item: In the fifth month of the same year, having devoted many years of hardship to the production of military equipment (weapons and armaments) and having successfully achieved a lasting state of preparedness, he was awarded one *tan* (bolt) of *ro* (thin silk gauze) in lieu of a formal outer garment (*haori*), and one *tan* of bleached cotton cloth (*sarashi*) in lieu of a summer garment (*katabira*).
Item: On the seventh day of the sixth month of the same year, in the presence of the lord, he was appointed Head of the Permanent-Duty Senior Attendants (*Jōzume Goyōnin Headmaster*), with his seat ranking above that of the *bugyō* (magistrate/commissioner), as was officially proclaimed. In the anteroom (*o-tsugi*), he retained his previous entitlements: the *matoi* (standard), the horse banner (*umajirushi*), exemption from having to dismount from his palanquin (*norimono*) within Aizu, and his *dōshin* stipend, all as before.
He was also to concurrently serve as attendant for Lady Juhōin, and regarding his general conduct of duties, he was to follow the same practices as when he had previously served in this role. With particular attention to the upbringing of the young lord, he was to be especially attentive to matters of the young lord's care and growth, accompanying and attending him in the same manner as a senior attendant (*goyōnin*). Regarding the post of Military Affairs Magistrate (*Gunjī Bugyō*), he was to serve concurrently until a successor was appointed, and in connection with this, he was to continue overseeing the coastal battery (*odaiba*) matter as before, as was officially proclaimed.
Note: Regarding attendance from before the morning meal and remaining on duty throughout the entire day, the senior attendants were to take turns on alternate days, and overnight duty (*yadoban*) was not to be performed.
Item: On the same day, it was noted that, in addition to the already strained state of the domain's internal finances (*o-naishō-kata*), the continuing increase in expenditures in recent years had made the financial difficulties ever more severe. Consequently, with no other recourse, creditors in both this and other domains were informed that repayments would be made in annual installments, so that the domain's own financial management could naturally sustain itself. Using the monthly allocation of income distributions, funds were to be kept in readiness for urgent needs, and should there be even a slight excess of expenditures, there would inevitably be serious difficulties in balancing the accounts. The internal state of domain finances (*o-naishō*)…[continues on next page]
