頭殿のご達しにつき、私の儀、手附・手代並びに在方の人足を召し連れ出張いたし、その場所において町奉行と打ち合わせ、防方の手配をいたしました。しかし、火先が数口に及び大火となりましたため、各所において消し留め、ようやく翌二十日の夜四ツ半時過ぎ、御弓町西側にて鎮火となりました。これにより申し上げる。以上。

右は、当月十九日朝五ツ時過ぎ、跡部山城守より手代を呼び出した上で、天満組屋敷において徒党の者があり、在々の者共も加わり、百姓共が押し寄せるとの趣が聞こえたため、取り鎮める方の手配をするよう達しがあった。間もなく天満より出火したため、即刻、私の儀、書名の人数を召し連れ出張いたした。天満橋には町方の与力・同心が鎗・鉄砲にて相固めて置いてある。且つまた、徒党の者共が東成郡・河州辺より罷り越すとの風聞につき、搦手へ廻り、裏手を立ち切るよう取り計らう方が然るべきと存じ、私の儀は中野村・淀川堤上まで出張して相固めて罷り在った。最早、村々より押し寄せるとの趣、且つ在々において一揆が乱妨に及ぶとの趣は聞こえず、大坂の方はいよいよ大火になっている様子につき、村々へは手代共を手分けして差し遣わし、まず私の儀は右の場所より引き取った。ところが、徒党の者共が淡路町辺より逃げ去った様子と聞こえたため、上方・中国・西国の同役共へ右の召捕方の手配を申し遣わし、なおまた（以下次ページへ続く）

Upon instructions from the Head Officer, I assembled my subordinate officials (tetsuke), agents (tedai), and rural laborers, and went out to the site. There, in coordination with the Town Magistrate, I made arrangements for fire suppression. However, as the fire spread from multiple points and developed into a great conflagration, we worked to contain it at various locations, and it was finally extinguished on the night of the following day, the 20th, just past the Hour of the Bells and a Half (approximately 11 p.m.), at the western side of Oyumichō. We hereby submit this report. Respectfully.

Regarding the above: On the morning of the 19th of this month, just past the Hour of the Rooster (approximately 8 a.m.), the agents were summoned by Atobe Yamashiro-no-Kami, and word was received that an armed group had gathered at the Tenma unit compound, that people from various rural areas had also joined them, and that peasants were massing to converge on the area, with instructions given to make arrangements to suppress the situation. Almost immediately, a fire broke out at Tenma, and I promptly assembled the personnel listed by name above and deployed to the scene. At Tenma Bridge, yoriki and doshin of the town's administration had taken up defensive positions armed with spears and firearms. Furthermore, having received rumors that the rebel band was approaching from Higashinari District and the Kawachi Province area, I judged it advisable to circle around to the rear approach and cut off the back route, and so I deployed as far as the Nakano Village riverside embankment along the Yodo River and held that position. As there were no further reports of peasants massing from the villages or of uprisings and rampages in the rural areas, and as the fire in Osaka appeared to be growing ever larger, I dispatched my agents in separate directions to the various villages, and I myself first withdrew from that position. Upon hearing reports that the rebel band appeared to have fled from the vicinity of Awaji-machi, I sent word to colleagues in the Kamigata, Chūgoku, and Saigoku regions regarding arrangements for the capture of the rebels, and furthermore... *(continues on next page)*
