現代語訳

【右丁】
御出になるよう仰せ遣わされたところ、ご延引となった。しかしながら御病気もご大切（重篤）であることゆえ、伊達中務様がお取り立てになり、出雲様・（津田）又次郎様へのご吟味（検討）、さらにその上、鮎貝太郎平様にもご出席いただき、助三郎様・小梁川田跡（こやながわでんせき）のご相続をなされた際の経緯について、右の差配の者からお尋ねがあり、品々（詳しく）申し上げたところ、助三郎様のご次男様がご相続なさるべきことと思し召しにより、ご吟味が相済んだところ、玄蕃様も夜五ツ半時（午後九時頃）に当方の御屋敷へお越しになり、右の経緯をお話しになり、助三郎様のご次男・忠之助様を

【左丁】
御婿養子にお立てになりたい由（とのこと）。
助三郎様のご家来・赤坂七郎左衛門をお呼びになり、伊東中務様が直々に七郎左衛門を通じてご内意を申し上げられた。その後、夜四ツ半時（午後十一時頃）に、泉田出雲様・浜田五郎様を通じて仰せ掛けられたところ、則ち助三郎様にご面会いただき、ご尤もなことと思し召されるとのことではあるが、男子が二人いらっしゃり、いまだ幼少であるがゆえ、思いが定まらず、どうとも置き難いとのご挨拶（ご回答）につき、大町将監様のご次男をお立てになりご相続なさるようにとのことながら、将監様が日光にいらっしゃるため、ご問い合わせも叶わず、よって鮎貝兵庫様のご次男を

**[Right folio]**
A message was sent requesting attendance, but it was delayed. Nevertheless, as the illness was serious, Lord Date Nakatsukasa took charge of the matter, and consultations were conducted with Lord Izumo and Lord (Tsuda) Matajirō. Furthermore, Lord Ayukai Tarōhei was also in attendance, and when asked about the details surrounding the succession of Lord Assist-Saburō (助三郎様) and the Koyanagawa estate, the matter was explained in full detail. It was then determined, in accordance with the wishes expressed, that Lord Assist-Saburō's second son should succeed to the estate. The consultations having concluded, Lord Genmba also came to this residence at around half past the ninth hour of the night (approximately 9 p.m.), and spoke of the above matter, stating that Lord Assist-Saburō's second son, Lord Tadanosuke,

was to be adopted as a son-in-law. Lord Assist-Saburō's retainer, Akasaka Shichirōzaemon, was summoned, and Lord Itō Nakatsukasa himself conveyed his private intentions through Shichirōzaemon. Subsequently, at around half past the fourth hour of the night (approximately 11 p.m.), the matter was raised through Lord Izumi Izumo and Lord Hamada Gorō. Lord Assist-Saburō duly met with them and indicated that he found the proposal reasonable, but as he had two sons who were still young, he could not yet make a definitive decision, and offered this as his response. It was then suggested that Lord Ōmachi Shōgen's second son might be designated as successor, but as Lord Shōgen was currently at Nikkō, no inquiry could be made. Therefore, Lord Ayukai Hyōgo's second son was [proposed]...
