右の前の通り吉兵衛治左衛門願書を
差し上げ申し候
恐れながら口上書を以って願い上げ候御事
私は不調法者でございますところ、思いがけず去る文化十一戊年に
帯刀を許可していただき、その上御扶持方を頂戴し御用細工を仰せ付けられ、
冥加至極、重ね重ね有り難い仕合わせと存じております。然る上は何分にも出精して御奉公
成し上げたいとの心願がございますところ、近年勝手向きが不如意となり、この節に至って甚だ
困窮し、内証取り続きかね御奉公が相成り難いと存じます。これにより恐れながら
是非もなく御指物方差し上げ、御用細工をお赦免くださいますよう願い上げます。
右の趣き、御慈悲を以って願い上げ候通りお仰せ付けくださいますれば
有り難い仕合わせと存じます。以上 鉾持町願主

Petitioner Tōzaemon

The above petition by Kichibei and Jizaemon as stated
has been submitted
Respectfully submitting this oral petition
I am an incompetent person, but unexpectedly in the past Bunka 11th Inu year,
I was granted permission to wear swords, and furthermore received stipend payments and was appointed to government craft work.
This is extremely fortunate, repeatedly grateful circumstances that I deeply appreciate. Therefore, I had wished to serve diligently
with dedication, but in recent years my financial situation has become difficult, and at this time I have become extremely
impoverished, unable to maintain my household and finding it difficult to continue my service. Therefore, respectfully,
having no choice, I submit my craft tools and request to be released from government craft work.
Regarding the above matter, if through your mercy you would grant my petition as requested,
it would be most grateful circumstances. The above stated. Hokimachi-machi Petitioner
