Additionally, he was told that if any unusual items are encountered during the journey, they should be reported to colleagues at Edo.
1. 2nd day of 5th month of the same year, town magistrate Ōmiya Hikoemon's aunt was in mourning, but since he serves alone and this would interfere with official duties, the mourning would be pardoned after three days.

1. 21st day of 9th month of the same year, Matsubara Zenzaemon was appointed as new unit commander eleven years earlier, but recently the guard units have grown large, and he is troubled that when urgent notifications must be circulated, he has no retainers and might miss official duties. Since many new guard members have been appointed, he requests two minor attendants be provided.

Following the senior retainers' instructions, Tasuke's mourning was pardoned from the 16th. Since Tasuke's position involves official duties, this was to be announced by the inspectors, and this matter was also communicated to unit commander Nakagawa Shuzen.

However, various instructions from the role head's unit commander should also be conveyed to deputies

The above three locations fall under inspector supervision, with direct supervision similar to ashigaru inspectors
