The foregoing should be reported to the Senior Lady-in-Waiting (rōjo) on monthly duty.
The above matters should be circulated accordingly.
Fifth Month
Item: On the thirteenth day of the fifth month, the residential agent (rusuii) Tsuda Kuemon (Morihiro) was dispatched as envoy, and, in accordance with the precedent set by the previous lord, one box of the domain's specialty first-of-season mackerel (hatsusaba, thirty fish) was presented to the Shogun. The Shogun's chamberlain (sobashū) Lord Mizuno Kawachi-no-kami (Tadatomi) conveyed that the presentation would be duly announced at a later time.
The same envoy also presented the identical offering to the Lord Great Counselor (Dainagon-sama). The chamberlain Lord Mizuno Tamba-no-kami conveyed that the presentation would likewise be announced at a later time.
Item: On the same day, regarding the repair of the stone walls surrounding the castle in the home domain and the dredging of the castle moat, a formal petition (negaisho) accompanied by a castle map (ezu) was submitted through the residential agent Tsuda Kuemon (Morihiro) to Lord Hotta Sagami-no-kami Masaaki, who was serving as the duty Senior Counselor (goyōban).
As one section of the stone walls of Fukui Castle in Echizen Province has either collapsed or begun to bulge outward, we respectfully request permission to carry out reconstruction works. Furthermore, regarding the dredging of the silted-up moat, as indicated by the red markings on the attached map, we humbly request that construction works be ordered to restore these to their original state on a continuing basis. Respectfully submitted.
