◯今度、御用のため御先足軽(おさきあしがる)並びに召し抱えられた者に対し、御擬作(ぎさく)七石二人扶持が下し置かれました。当十六日に江戸表へ出立させ、道中九日間の行程で同二十四日に江戸表へ到着するものとします。
九月十日
追って、仮支配(かりしはい)を仰せ付けられる予定ですので、その旨ご承知おきください。
ただし、右の新たに召し抱えた御足軽たちは御先物頭(おさきものがしら)十三組へ割り当て、仮預かりを仰せ付けられましたので、御先物頭の月番へ相談し、相済みました。
一、十一月三日に立った御飛脚が同十日に江戸表へ着き、火事装束の件について以前に触れ知らせましたが、なおまたこの節、頭巾(ずきん)の寸法・寸尺も定めるようにとのお意(ご意向)もあったため、口達書(くちたつしょ)を認め、御家老中のご覧に入れ、それぞれへ触れ知らせたとの由、申し来たしました。

一、延享元子年(1744年)
◯去る亥の春(昨年春)に触れ知らせました通り、奉公人がやむを得ない事情により宿へ引き籠もっている者がある場合には、主人より支配・支配へお達しすることは、これまでの御定め(規定)の通りに取り扱い、その上で御目付衆へもお達しください。今春は特に奉公人が払底(不足)しているとのことが聞こえておりますので、自然と御定め以外の高い給金を望む者が出るかもしれません。もし差し障りのある事情がありましたら、その段をお達しください。また、戌の秋(享保十一年か)に御倹約が仰せ出された折に、特に奉公人について高い給金では召し抱えないようにと触れ知らせました通り、主人はいよいよその意を心得ていただくべき事柄です。また、召し使いの件についても思慮・工夫をいたすべき事柄ですので、必ず御定め以外の高い給金なしで召し抱えるようにしてください。右の趣旨を面々ご承知おきください。以上。
正月十五日 各中 追って組・支配へ~ 目付中
◯御国(国元・福井)において、御足軽の御用のために、以前に御足軽を勤めていたものの、現在は番などの勤めが難しくなって休息しております者がおりましたら、御扶持方(ふちかた)が下し置かれ、当分の間御雇いとして召し出されます。組々においてそのような者がいて望む場合には、明十二日までに名前を記してお申し達しください。
二月十一日
◯一昨年、御倹約が仰せ出されましたことに付き、御掟書(おきてしょ)等のすべて【脇書「詳しく(委か)」】が仰せ出された通り、随分厳重に相守ってきたとのことです。しかし、近ごろ末々の男女に至るまで、衣類あるいは合羽(かっぱ)・装束等の件で、紛らわしい(規定に反するおそれのある)品も聞こえております。もっとも、心得違いの者もあることかと思われますので、今度また改めて仰せ出されましたので、その主人並びに支配の方より、いよいよ毛頭(もうとう)紛らわしい品のないよう、必ず厳守するようにお申し付けください。かねてより御目付衆が吟味(調査・確認)いたしますので、その心得でいてください。以上。

【Right Folio】
◯In connection with this current official duty, those recruited as vanguard foot soldiers (御先足軽) and newly retained men are to receive an allowance of seven koku in nominal stipend (御擬作) and provisions for two persons (二人扶持). They are to depart for Edo on the 16th of this month, and are expected to arrive in Edo after nine days of travel, on the 24th of the same month.
9th Month, 10th Day
Addendum: As provisional unit assignments (仮支配) will be ordered, please be aware of this accordingly.
Note: The newly recruited foot soldiers have been distributed among thirteen units under the vanguard unit commanders (御先物頭), and provisional custody has been ordered. Consultations with the monthly duty officer of the vanguard unit commanders have been concluded.
One item: The official courier who departed on the 3rd day of the 11th month arrived in Edo on the 10th. Regarding fire-fighting attire, although a notice had been issued previously, there was also a directive at this time that the dimensions of fire hoods (頭巾) should also be standardized. A written oral communication (口達書) was accordingly drafted, submitted for review by the Senior Elders (御家老中), and notices were issued to the relevant parties, as has been communicated to us.
【Left Folio】
One item: Enkyō 1, Year of the Rat (1744)
◯As was communicated in the spring of the past Year of the Boar: in cases where servants (奉公人) are unavoidably confined to their lodgings, masters should notify their respective supervisors and unit commanders, and this should be handled in accordance with established regulations (御定め) as before. Furthermore, the matter should be reported to the Inspector Corps (御目付衆). Since it is heard that this spring there is a particularly severe shortage of servants, it is natural that some may demand salaries exceeding the established regulations. If there are any problematic circumstances, please report them accordingly. Furthermore, as was communicated at the time of the frugality edict (御倹約) issued in the autumn of the Year of the Dog — that servants in particular should not be retained at high salaries — masters should bear this in mind all the more diligently. Additionally, as the matter of those in one's employ is something that should be handled with careful consideration, please ensure that servants are retained strictly without salaries exceeding the established regulations. Please take thorough note of the above. Respectfully.
1st Month, 15th Day To All Units Addendum: [to unit supervisors and commanders]~ Inspector Corps (Metsuke-chū)
◯Within the home domain (御国), in connection with foot soldier duties, if there are persons who previously served as foot soldiers but are currently resting as they are unable to manage guard duties (番) and the like, they will be granted provisions (御扶持方) and called up temporarily as hired employees (御雇). If there are such persons within the various units who wish to serve, please submit their names in writing no later than tomorrow, the 12th.
2nd Month, 11th Day
◯In relation to the frugality edict issued two years ago, the regulations and codes of conduct (御掟書), which were issued in detail [marginal note: "in full detail"], have reportedly been observed with considerable strictness. However, of late, it has come to our attention that even among the lower ranks — men and women alike — there are items of clothing, rain capes (合羽), attire, and the like that appear questionable (possibly in violation of regulations). Since there may well be those who are acting out of misunderstanding, this matter is hereby issued once again. Masters and supervisors are to instruct those in their charge to ensure that absolutely no questionable articles exist, and to observe the regulations strictly. The Inspector Corps will conduct examinations as before, so please be duly aware. Respectfully.
