現代語訳
一、同日、御拝領の御鷹で捕えた鴈・鴨が昨日到着したことにつき、御用番・本多中務大輔（忠良）殿へ、御留守居・浅井源左衛門（政之）が以下の伺い書を持参して差し出した。
覚
兵部大輔が拝領した御鷹により捕えた鴈・鴨について、昨冬、国元にて深雪のため（鷹の鳥獲りが）できなかったため、先だってお伺い申し上げたところ、御附紙（付け書き）にてご指図を仰せ聞かされ、国元にて承知いたしました。しかしながら、鷹の獲物ができ、まだ暖気にもなっておりませんので、この度は生き鳥のまま差し越し、何卒献上いたしたく存じます。この旨、なお又お伺い申し上げるよう、兵部大輔より申し越しております。以上。

正月二十一日 浅井源左衛門
一、同日、去る秋の洪水により田畑が損亡した村々において、餓死者が出たことにつき、郡奉行・小栗治右衛門（安正）の支配下にて男女六百六十八人、鱸九郎右衛門（重武）の支配下にて男女八百二十三人がいるとの旨、両人より改め書付を以て相達せられた。
一、正月二十三日、御使者を以て例年の通り、御鷹で捕えた鴈・鴨を献上された。
一、同月二十四日、旧臘（昨年十二月）に大御番・岡部宇右衛門が出奔したことにつき、御家老・本多縫殿（成広）の与力・黒沢由太夫と、御徒・井上仙右衛門は、宇右衛門の実兄にあたるため、両人へ尋ねるよう仰せ付けられた。去る九日に御国元を出立し、同二十一日に江戸へ着き、昨二十三日に洲崎村辺にて出逢い、召し連れ罷り帰るよう申し聞かせたところ、違儀（拒否・抵抗）に及んだため打ち捨てた。ところが、その地所は御代官・伊奈半左衛門殿の支配所であるため、半左衛門殿へ阿部（より申し達した）―

英語訳
Item: On the same day, geese and ducks caught by the falcons that had been bestowed as a gift arrived the previous day. The castle keeper (ōrusui) Asai Genzaemon (Masayuki) personally delivered the following inquiry document to the duty councillor (goyōban) Honda Nakatsukasa-no-Taifu (Tadayoshi):
Memorandum
Regarding the geese and ducks caught by the falcon bestowed upon Hyōbu-no-Taifu: due to heavy snowfall in the home domain last winter, it was not possible to carry out falconry, and we submitted an inquiry to that effect some time ago. We received your instructions by way of an attached note (tsukegami), which was duly acknowledged at the home domain. However, as the falcon has now made its catches and the weather has not yet turned warm, we respectfully wish to send the birds alive this time and present them as an offering. Hyōbu-no-Taifu has asked that this matter be inquired about once more. Respectfully submitted.
(Retainer of Matsudaira Hyōbu-no-Taifu)
21st day of the 1st month Asai Genzaemon
Item: On the same day, it was reported through written documents submitted by two district magistrates (gōri bugyō) that, in the villages where farmland had been damaged by the floods of the previous autumn, people were dying of starvation: 668 men and women were found in the district under the jurisdiction of Oguri Jirōemon (Yasumasa), and 823 men and women in the district under the jurisdiction of Suzuki Kurōemon (Shigetake).
Item: On the 23rd day of the 1st month, as customary, geese and ducks caught by the bestowed falcons were presented via a messenger.
Item: On the 24th day of the same month: In connection with the desertion (出奔, shuppon) of Okabe Uemon, a member of the Great Guard (ōoban), in the 12th month of the previous year, Kurosaw Yūdayū, a yoriki (mounted retainer) of senior councillor Honda Nuidono (Narishiro), and Inoue Senemon, an okachi (foot soldier), were ordered to conduct an inquiry, as they were Uemon's elder brothers by blood. Departing from the home domain on the 9th, they arrived in Edo on the 21st, and on the 23rd (yesterday) located him in the vicinity of Suzaki Village and told him to accompany them back. However, as he refused and resisted, they abandoned him there. As that land fell within the jurisdiction of the magistrate (daikan) Ina Hanzaemon, (a communication was sent) to Hanzaemon via Abe—
