English: Tadamasa said "the deceased vassal was the main retainer who served the lord Tadazane since the lord was young and rendered distinguished services; however, it is not a good idea to give 500 koku for each of the vassal's legitimate son and the nephew, even if the legitimate son is incapable while the nephew is able to help the clan.
Japanese: 忠昌が申すには、故人は藩主の忠真が幼い折より使えた大功の老臣であるが、故人の嫡子不出来である故、甥であれば藩のお役に立つとのことで、それぞれ500石ずつ与えるというのは尤もとは言い難い。
English: I believe that we could repay the vassal's contribution only by making his son succeed all of his father's enfeoffments.
Japanese: 父の知行をすべて子に与えてこそ、その功労に報いることにはならないだろうか。
English: We should say that the vassal is unquestionably loyal, as he was willing to have his newphew his successor.
Japanese: 故人が甥に継がせたいというのは、まこと以って忠臣というべきではある。
English: If he reported before he died that his son would be disinherited and his nephew would succeed him, I would never hesitate to respect the will of the deceased; however, when the vassal dies without any procedure, a biological son should succeed all salaries and why don't you give his nephew a little allowance."
Japanese: しかし、生前に子を廃嫡し、甥に家督相続の儀を届け出ているのであれば、故人の意思を尊重するのに何の躊躇もないが、そうした手続きもなくすべては死後のことであれば、実子に俸禄のすべてを相続させて、その甥には小知でも与えたらどうかという沙汰を伝えた。
