一、同年四月、（藩主が）御入部あそばされたため、願いの上、御供として立ち帰るよう仰せ付けられた。
一、同月、相州（相模国）において異国船が目撃されたため、急に彼の地へ派遣されることもあり得るとして、常日頃から心掛けておくよう仰せ付けられたため、即刻支度を整えた旨、御届け申し上げた。

一、同十三（子）年正月、藩主の上京に際して旅籠の手配・調査のため御用として上京するよう差し遣わされ、両三日中に出発するよう仰せ付けられた。なお、旅籠の手配は御損益に関わる大切な事柄であるから、人情に甘えることなく、御入用が少なく済むよう適切に取り調べ、渡船場などの箇所には前宿においても十分に取り調べておくようにすること。また、御宿での対談（交渉・協議）の者も差し遣わされるので、一同揃って赴き、これまた御差し支えのないよう申し談じ、よく取り計らうよう仰せ付けられた。
但し、京都において会所方・御普請方・御賄方（の担当者）が――

**[Left folio]**
One: In the first month of the same thirteenth year (Year of the Rat), he was ordered to travel to Kyoto as an official envoy to investigate and arrange lodgings (hatagoya) in advance of the lord's visit to the capital, with instructions to depart within two or three days. Furthermore, he was instructed that since the arrangement of lodgings is a matter of great importance bearing upon the domain's financial gain and loss, he should not rely on personal favors or hospitality, but should negotiate arrangements so that expenditures are kept to a minimum; at post stations such as ferry crossings, he was to make thorough inquiries at the preceding lodging as well. Additionally, since personnel for on-site negotiations at the lodgings would also be dispatched, all were to proceed together and consult one another so as to ensure there were no inconveniences, and to manage affairs appropriately.
