…(continuing from the previous page,) he performed his duties guarding against foreign vessels by dispatching ships, and in recognition of this meritorious service, he was rewarded with two bundles of cotton (*wata niba*).
1. In the 4th month of the same year (Bunsei 2, 1819), it was proclaimed that his diligent service in various assigned capacities (*o-sonaesūji*) during the previous autumn's encounter with the foreign vessel off Shirahama in Awa Province (*Bōshū*) was recognized and appreciated by the lord.
2. In the 9th month of the same year, it was noted that at both garrisons (*go-jinya*), he had for a number of consecutive years diligently devoted himself to training in the handling of heavy and light sculling oars (*jū-kei tomote shūgyō*). Although this skill differed from his regular official duties in nature, as it was considered essential for coastal defense (*kaibō*), he had been ordered to undertake this training; accordingly, he was presented with special ceremonial sake (*kakubetsu o-sake*) as recognition, with a further exhortation to continue his devoted efforts.

In the 8th month of the same year, the arrangement of employing *tozama* (outside) retainers in Sagami Province (*Sōshū*) for guard duty was brought to an end (*go-men*), and in recognition of his many years of continuous and meritorious service at the coastal defense posts (*o-sonaeba*), he was rewarded with one *tan* (bolt) of bleached cotton cloth (*sarashi*).
