多分之荷物不容易益筋
にも相成候間郷中一統にて付
送り候様尚又此末迚も御伝馬
多分之節は助合等も可致候間
兎角仲能いたし度段右両人
呉々申候に付尤之儀に存規定
書え調印仕候得共和田宿
故障之儀道中 【闕字】御奉行所様へ
御訴申上壱駄も入荷無之候
に付先規之通金沢宿ゟ
継入之荷物は是迄無滞
継立来候処近年西国中国
御諸家様御通行多年増
難渋相嵩困窮仕人馬
〇潰百姓数多出来仕
難相立〇【立の右下に〇あり】依之去る酉年
御上様以 【闕字】御憐愍江戸表
御差出被成下道中
【平出】御奉行所石川左近将監様

The two aforementioned people repeatedly stated this, and thinking it reasonable, we signed the agreement. However, Wada-shuku raised objections and filed a complaint with the Dōchū Bugyōsho (Highway Magistrate's Office), resulting in not a single load of cargo being allowed through. Therefore, we have continued to handle cargo forwarded from Kanazawa-shuku without interruption as before. However, in recent years, the passage of daimyo from western and central Japan has increased yearly, causing accumulated hardships. Our people and horses have become impoverished, many farmers have been ruined, and the situation has become unsustainable. Consequently, in the year of the Rooster, His Lordship, out of compassion, made representations to Edo, and Ishikawa Sakon-shōgen of the Dōchū Bugyōsho...
