現代語訳
一、同日、右と同様の件につき、御内証(奥向き)より御礼として、御本丸へ女使・崎尾を、西丸へ女使・八十田を差し出された。
但し、右の御拝領につき御礼の女使を差し出す件については、以後定例となるため、ここには記載しない。
一、七月二十八日、大目付中より廻状をもって、以下の通り達しがあった。「供廻りの徒の者の風俗(身なり・行儀)が宜しくなく、中間どもはとりわけ粗雑になっている。在所者(地方出身者)を召し使っている面々は、右のような者がいてはならないことであり、向後(今後)は急度(厳しく)相止めるべきこと。奉公人へもその段を申し付け置くべき旨。」との廻達が、松平安芸守吉長殿・松平大炊頭殿の留守居より伝達された。
一、八月朔日(一日)、御祝儀につき、(御方様が)御幼年にあらせられるため、御使者として御先物頭・榊原助左衛門(成房)〔白衣長袴着用〕をもって、御先代の例の通り、
公方様へ御太刀一腰・御馬一疋代(黄金十両)を献上された。御城大広間三ノ間において、御老中が出座され、御奏者番・内藤大和守(頼由)殿が披露(取り次ぎ)をされた。
大納言様へも御使者として同人をもって、同所にて右と同様のものを献上された。御品の御目録は、御奏者番・井上遠江守(正敦)殿の家来へ相渡した。
一、同月六日、御使者として御留守居・津田九右衛門(盛恕)をもって、御先代の例の通り、
公方様へ御国産の初鱈三本を献上された。御側衆・三浦肥後守殿より、「後刻、披露いたす」旨を申し聞かされた。
大納言様へも御使者として同人をもって、右と同様のものを献上された。御側衆・水野丹波守殿より、「後刻、披露いたす」旨を申し聞かされた。
英語訳
One: On the same day, in connection with the same matter, as a gesture of thanks from the inner quarters (*o-naishō*), a female envoy (*onnashi*) named Sakio was dispatched to the Main Castle (*Hon-maru*), and a female envoy named Yasoda was dispatched to the West Castle (*Nishi-maru*).
Note: Regarding the dispatch of female envoys as an expression of thanks for the gifts received, this shall henceforth be treated as established precedent and will not be recorded here.
One: On the twenty-eighth day of the seventh month, a circular letter (*mawashijō*) was sent from the Senior Inspectors (*Ōmetsuke*), communicating the following: "The appearance and conduct (*fūzoku*) of those attendants accompanying processions is unsatisfactory, and among the *chūgen* (lower-ranking servants) in particular, slovenliness has become especially pronounced. Those households employing persons from rural areas (*zaishosha*) must ensure that no such individuals of this kind are retained in their service. Henceforth, this is to be strictly (*kakuto*) ceased. The same instruction is to be conveyed to all servants (*hōkōnin*)." This circular was transmitted through the *rusui* (caretaker officials in Edo) of Lord Matsudaira Aki-no-Kami Yoshinaga and Lord Matsudaira Ōi-no-Kami.
One: On the first day of the eighth month, for the ceremonial congratulations (*shūgi*): as [the young lord] was of a tender age, the Head of the Advance Guard (*o-saki mono-gashira*) Sakakibara Sukizaemon (Narufusa) was dispatched as envoy [dressed in white ceremonial robes and long formal *hakama*], following the precedents set by the previous lord:
To the Kubō-sama: one sword (*tachi*) and one horse [in lieu, ten *ryō* in gold] were presented. At the Grand Audience Chamber's Third Room (*Ōhiroma San-no-Ma*) of the castle, the Senior Councillors were in attendance, and the Shogunal Announcer (*Sōjaban*) Lord Naitō Yamato-no-Kami (Yoriyoshi) made the formal announcement.
To the Dainagon-sama: through the same envoy, at the same location, identical gifts were presented. The gift register (*mokuroku*) for the items was handed to a retainer of the Shogunal Announcer Lord Inoue Tōtōmi-no-Kami (Masaatsu).
One: On the sixth day of the same month, the *rusui* (Edo caretaker) Tsuda Kūemon (Moriyuki) was dispatched as envoy, following the precedents set by the previous lord:
To the Kubō-sama: three fresh first-catch cod (*hatsutara*), a regional product of the domain, were presented. The Shogunal Attendant (*sobashū*) Lord Miura Higo-no-Kami informed [the envoy] that the presentation would be duly announced in due course.
To the Dainagon-sama: through the same envoy, the same items were presented. The Shogunal Attendant Lord Mizuno Tamba-no-Kami informed [the envoy] that the presentation would be duly announced in due course.
