一 七月二十一日、右（前日）と同じく（倹約の）件につき、月番御家老・酒井玄蕃（知喬）が、以下の書付をもって諸方へ申し渡した。
今度、厳しく御倹約を仰せ出されたことに就き、諸役方（各部署）の御入用（経費）については、年中いかほどの切符（予算割当）を仰せ付け置かれているか、その切符をもっていかようにも御用向き（業務）を取り扱い、その内からも少しなりとも御入用を減らすことができれば、各自の働きとしてお褒めになるとのことであるから、この旨をよくよく心得るべきである。なお、委細の儀は御奉行共・栃屋半右衛門へ仰せ含め置かれているので、承り合わせて相談するべきである。以上。
七月二十一日
一 同日、触頭（ふれがしら）ならびに御近習・御手廻（おてまわり）・表侍・御留守番・御番組の子供ら、これまで野廻（のまわり）の御供を勤める節に、これまで御弁当をいただいていたが、今度格別の御倹約を仰せ出されたことにつき、以来、自分弁当にて御供を勤めたい旨を申し達してきたので、
御聴きに達した処、奇特（きとく）に思し召され、その通りにせよとの旨を仰せ出された。
一 同月二十七日、品川・天龍寺において、昨二十六日の晩より今朝まで、見性院様の五十回御忌の御法事が執り行われた。松岡・天龍寺においても右と同様に執り行われ、孝顕寺においても御茶湯（おちゃとう）が執り行われた。
一 同月二十九日、看病人（病人の看護・付添）の儀につき、大目付中より以下の通り御廻状が来た。
看病（欠勤）の断りの儀については、父母・妻子以外の者の断りは認めない。しかしながら（以下、次ページへ続く）
英語訳
1. On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, in connection with the same matter as the previous day (the frugality orders), the monthly duty senior retainer (*tsukiban go-karō*) Sakai Genba (Tomotaka) issued the following written notice to all departments:
In response to the strict frugality orders that have now been issued, regarding the operating expenses (*go-nyūyō*) of the various departments: each department has been assigned an annual budget allotment (*kippu*); all official business is to be conducted within that allotment, and should any department succeed in reducing expenditures even by a small amount, this shall be regarded as a mark of each person's diligent effort and will be commended. The intent of this notice is to be thoroughly understood and observed. For further details, instructions have been conveyed to the magistrates (*go-bugyō*) and to Tochiya Han'emon, so all concerned parties are to consult with them accordingly. That is all.
Seventh month, twenty-first day.
2. On the same day, the *furegashira* (liaison officers), as well as the *go-kinshū* (personal attendants), *o-temawari* (close-range attendants), *omotezamurai* (outer-hall samurai), *go-rusuban* (castle guard retainers), and the *go-bangumi* attendants — all of whom had heretofore been provided with a box lunch (*bentō*) from the domain when performing escort duties during the lord's outdoor rounds (*nomawari*) — submitted a notice expressing their wish to bring their own lunches for escort duties henceforth, in keeping with the special frugality orders that had been issued.
Upon this being brought to the lord's attention, he found it admirable and praiseworthy, and issued an order that they were to do exactly as they proposed.
3. On the twenty-seventh day of the same month, at Tenryū-ji temple in Shinagawa, a memorial service (*go-hōji*) was held for the fiftieth death anniversary (*go-ki*) of Lady Kenshō-in, from the evening of the twenty-sixth until that morning. The same ceremony was likewise conducted at Tenryū-ji temple in Matsuoka, and an *o-chātō* (tea-and-hot-water offering) ceremony was also held at Kōken-ji temple.
4. On the twenty-ninth day of the same month, a circular letter arrived from the *ō-metsuke* (chief inspector) regarding the matter of persons attending to the sick (*kanbyōnin*):
Regarding requests for absence due to attending to the sick: such absences shall not be recognized for anyone other than one's own parents, spouse, or children. However— (continued on the next page)
