"To devise to the son Iya-taro Do-Ken:
"Although there exist previous letters of devise, since the grandson Suwo no suke1
interferes with Myo-Sho's2 domains, [Myo-sho] writes this letter anew. [Do-Ken]
shall hold, in accordance with the previous letters of devise, [the domains specified
therein]. As for the said Suwo no suke,1 he is forever a grandson repudiated3 by Myo-
Sho, and shall not be pardoned. Therefore, for the future days, the statement is
[made] thus.
"Ei-toku 4 y. 1 m. 8 d. [30 January 1384]. Myo-Sho,1 (monogram)."

"Although the house at Lower Mae-toko within Myo-Sho's domain was sold to
Sho-ya4 dono, as Myo-Sho has held it for more than thirty years since the entire family
separated from the shu-go, the claim of Sho-ya dono's children would be invalid, if
they should raise any objection. Do-ken shall hold [the said house] in accordance
with the previous letter of devise. Therefore, for the future days, the statement is
[made] thus.
"Ei-toku 4 y. 1 m. 8 d. [30 January 1384]. Myo-Sho,1 (monogram)."
