idle tales and poor ideas circulating amongst uneducated persons are worth while noting, therefore, your Imperial Majesty having deigned to enquire about my family tradition, I, taking advantage of this happiest opportunity, am overjoyed by the thought that the occasion will enable me to submit all my family traditional documents to the Imperial Throne, and your Imperial Majesty’s humble servant most sincerely trusts that this appeal will be honoured by your Majesty’s gracious inspection.
On the 13th day of the Second Month in the Second Year of Daido (154).
