One entry: The following [notice]:
(Regarding the reform of rank and seating protocols)
In accordance with the will of the Imperial Court, a reform of the regulations governing social status and family rank (産例, sanrei) has been carried out. The previous rank classifications are hereby abolished. Concerning the soldier-class (土卒, dosotsu), after a period of two years has elapsed, henceforth the order of precedence for the roles of tan-yaku and shō-jun shall be calibrated according to the level of one's assessed rice yield (石高, kokudaka), and the proper seating arrangements shall be determined accordingly. Those of equal assessed yield shall determine their relative seating by rotation.
One entry: Regarding crests/insignia (絵様, e-yō): as had previously been communicated, these were reported to the Imperial Court in the year of the Snake (巳年, i.e., Meiji 2, 1869), and are to be granted/distributed from the 10th month of the year of the Horse (午年, i.e., Meiji 3, 1870) onwards; they will be distributed in due course.
