(Continued from previous page)
As the formal notification document (odashifumi) had been submitted as described above, and as it was duly received without incident, a letter was sent from the domain's chamberlain (goyōnin) Daidōji Magoкurō (Shigeyoshi) to the chamberlain of Owari-sama, Shimojō Shōuemon, to inform him accordingly.
Item: On the 25th day of the 11th month, as there were occasions when the post-runners (hikyaku) encountered difficulties along the road, an order was issued to the effect that when dispatching post-runners, they should be provided with crested pictorial passes (gomontsuki-efu) [i.e., official travel permits bearing the domain crest].
Item: On the 27th day of the same month, as approval was granted in accordance with the petitions for the marriage arrangement of Yamato-no-Kami (Tomonori)-sama [to the daughter of Matsudaira Tosa-no-Kami-dono] and the marriage arrangement of Fukujirō (Katafusa)-sama [to the daughter of Wake Wakasa-no-Kami-dono], the domain's Edo resident deputy (orusuі) was dispatched as a messenger to offer formal thanks (orei) to the duty elder (goyōban) Honda Hōki-no-Kami (Masayoshi)-dono, the Senior Councilor attached to the Ōgosho-sama, Nishio Oki-no-Kami (Tadanao)-dono, and the Senior Councilor attached to the Dainagon-sama, Akimoto Tajima-no-Kami (Suzutomo)-dono.
Item: On the same day, a slip letter (okiri-kami) bearing the joint signatures of the Senior Councilors arrived from the duty elder Honda Hōki-no-Kami (Masayoshi)-dono:
There is an official matter to attend to;
therefore, please arrange for one representative
(nadai) on your behalf to present themselves
at the castle tomorrow at the Hour of the Rabbit
[approximately 6:00 a.m.]. That is all.
27th day of the 11th month Matsudaira Ukon-no-Shōgen
Honda Hōki-no-Kami
To: Matsudaira Yoshimaru-dono
Note: Hotta Sagami-no-Kami-dono and Sakai Saemon-no-Jō-dono
are absent due to illness and are therefore not included.
In response to the above, a formal acknowledgment letter (ouke-gosho) was dispatched to Honda Hōki-no-Kami-dono by means of a messenger-official (otsukai-ban). Furthermore, a notice (otodokegaki) was submitted via the Edo resident deputy to inform them that Dewa-no-Kami (Muneyuki)-sama would serve as the representative (nadai) for the following day.
