Indeed, there was no doubt about their poverty, so this matter was reported in detail to the senior councilors. One unit of advance group stock money was received, discussed with the magistrate, and deposited with the accounting office. From the interest on that silver, eight bags of rice and one hundred monme of salary silver were to be distributed annually from the accounting office at year's end. From the spring of the current year of the Sheep, Koemon had planned to hire with that silver. However, due to an internal petition on the 8th day of the 2nd month, he was relieved of temple inspector duties, and Suzuki Jūzaemon was appointed as concurrent replacement. The next day, Koemon was appointed deputy territory inspector for political affairs as before. Therefore, regarding the one assistant that Koemon should hire, Suzuki should have hired him, but since Suzuki held concurrent duties, there was no need to take assistants from the temple group separately, and the predetermined assistant need not be hired, resulting in surplus assistant wages. Therefore, after deliberation among the inspectors, that assistant was given to the deputy territory inspector, and for the other assistant, one person was to be selected from the former attached servants, with both to be provided. When monthly duty officer Honda Kyūdayū consulted with duty officer Koma Tatewaki about this, Tatewaki instructed to handle it accordingly, so from the 15th of the same month, these two were assigned as Koemon's assistants.
However, when temple inspector duties are reassigned in the future, the assistant hired with stock money interest should immediately be transferred to the temple inspector. For future reference, this matter was recorded at the end of Koemon's duty records in the temple inspector duty chest. - Hasebe Koemon
1. When group members petition for name change, it shall be granted three years after replacement. Within three years, they shall use the family name initially inherited. However, if there are circumstances, after investigation, name changes may be granted within three years as petitioned - this is the internal decision. It is not necessary to report to senior councilors; acknowledgment by monthly duty colleagues suffices.
However, notification letters from various military commanders should come to monthly duty colleagues.
1. Regarding group members' re-employment during the Tenpō period:
1. Kasuya Hikodayū group member Furuichi Enkurō died of illness around the 10th day of the 6th month. Maezawa Takedayū replaced him, with internal discussion of re-employment. However, his son was serving.
Precedent: Matsubara Zenzaemon group - Saitō Mataemon hired in the 11th month of Kyōwa 1, year of the Cock. In Bunsei 10, year of the Boar, after replacement due to eye disease and subsequent death of his son, he was re-employed in the following year of the Rat upon recovery and hired again in the 11th month.
1. Construction magistrate Kasuya Hikodayū group leader Hayashi Ridayū's adopted son Yamaguchi Kitarō, sword-bearer guest member.
1. Around the 4th month of Tenpō 15, year of the Dragon: Construction group member Yonezawa Suekichi's adoptive father Mansuke had been ordered to step down years earlier due to misconduct. After petitioning in the autumn of the previous year of the Rabbit, his stipend was restored, and he again petitioned to replace the original group member Suekichi. However, returning to the original group was against regulations, as monthly duty officer Tsuchiya Jūzaemon informed construction magistrate Kawamura Bunpei.
However, while regulations prevent replaced persons from returning to original groups, 2-3 years ago, magistrate group member Sugino Mansuke returned to his original group after replacement, but this greatly violated regulations. Therefore, after this deliberation, it was decided to strictly maintain the former practice. Happyakuri noted that Sugino Mansuke returned to his original group as Mikageike Mansuke, but this involved very improper circumstances.

Regarding half-armor for musket group members, there have been repeated proclamations since previous years, but recently there has been further relaxation, with many unable to distinguish between armor types - this is a misunderstanding. Therefore, corrections should be made immediately according to regulations. If anyone persists in misunderstanding, punishments may be imposed, so compliance must be strict.
