1. On the 1st day of the 11th month of Kyōhō 14, Year of the Rooster, castle deputy Koma Ichiemon reported that his assigned yoriki Yoda Shingorōemon had grown old, and since his son Sukeshichi was of appropriate age,
he ordered that the father Shingorōemon should serve as training supervisor, with Shingorōemon handling day shifts when on duty and his son taking night shifts. He mentioned that previous officials had
also made such arrangements and informed their colleagues, and since there was precedent, he had recently given similar orders to Shingorōemon and asked that this be acknowledged.
When this was communicated to Uneme's office, they replied that since there was precedent, they would acknowledge it.
Note: The previous precedent occurred when yoriki Okada Sukēemon under Honda Nuinodono's supervision grew old and similar arrangements were made for his son Sukēzaemon.
1. On the 15th day of the 6th month of Genbun 1, Year of the Dragon, a yoriki temporarily assigned to Inaba Uneme was transferred to Honda Nuinodono's supervision, so this should be understood accordingly. Normally during the lord's absence,
such transfers would be communicated and carried out through the inspectors, but since the lord was in residence, the matter was concluded through direct communication between colleagues, so formal procedures were unnecessary.
Uneme's office requested this be acknowledged.

Respectfully, 5th day of 6th month, To Katō Buemon, Honda Nuinodono
Separate note: This position became vacant when Kurosawa Yoshidayū was promoted to the great guard unit this spring
