をもって厳しく取り扱うべきである。御幼年様の内は、御仕置はただただ御静謐が第一のことであるから、面々その旨を存じ、たとえ御法度の場所でなくとも、遊山所などへ度々罷り越すことは、心得も有るべきことである。この段、寄々（より寄り）申し聞かせるべきである。
一、十二月九日、江戸表より御徒飛脚・矢野三大夫（政房）が福井へ着いた。よって、月番御家老・狛帯刀（■翁）の宅へ諸月番を呼び出し、左の通り申し渡した。
御徒飛脚到着
殿様には、ますます御機嫌よく御座なされております。とりわけ、先月二十七日、御老中御連名の御奉書が御到来し、翌二十八日、御名代・出羽守様が御登城されたところ、殿様の御縁組について、尾張中納言様の御姫様、御願いの通り仰せ出され、恐悦至極のことである。この段、侍中へ申し聞かせるよう仰せ出された。
御三家様の御縁談のことは、御双方様より御願いは、いずれの方でも相成らないことの由である。
御家のことは、格別の趣をもって御用番まで、この方様よりも御願い・御達書を差し出され、御首尾よく仰せ出され、御威光のことと、かたがた恐悦あるべきである。以上。
英語訳
(Continued from previous page)
...shall be dealt with strictly in accordance with the great regulations. As the lord is still in his youth, the governance of the domain requires, above all else, the maintenance of peace and tranquility. Each person should bear this in mind, and even if a place is not explicitly prohibited by law, visiting places of leisure and amusement on repeated occasions is a matter requiring proper judgment and restraint. This matter shall be communicated at each assembly.
1. On the 9th day of the 12th month, the foot courier (otomo hikyaku) Yano Sandayū (Masafusa) arrived in Fukui from Edo. Accordingly, the various monthly duty officers were summoned to the residence of the monthly duty chief retainer, Koma Tatemaki (■Ō), and the following was conveyed to them:
Arrival of the Foot Courier
The lord continues to be in excellent spirits. In particular, on the 27th of last month, a joint official letter (gobusho) from the Senior Councillors (rōjū) arrived, and on the following 28th day, the lord's representative (omondai), the Lord of Dewa no Kami, proceeded to Edo Castle, where it was proclaimed — in accordance with the petition — that the lord's marriage arrangement (oengumi) with the daughter of the Lord of Owari Chūnagon had been approved. This is a matter of the utmost joy and gratitude. It was ordered that this matter be communicated to the retainers (samurai-chū).
Regarding marriage arrangements involving the Three Gosanke Houses, it is said that petitions from either party are not permitted under any circumstances.
In the case of our domain, however, owing to its special status, a petition and formal notification (odachisho) were submitted through the duty councillor (goyōban), and the matter was resolved favorably. This reflects the great honor and prestige of our lord, and all should regard it as a cause for deepest gratitude and joy. That is all.
