Subject: [Moo] To his Excellency, a dispatch by rider


> Dispatch from Niwamura estate in Okamizu district, to His Excellency the 
> Governor (Baron) of Oshikawa (Stierbach) :
>
> I have received reports of the brigands in the southern reaches of your 
> Domain, and have heard your call to arms.
>
> It is a source of great distress to me that such lawlessness threatens to 
> undermine your Just Leadership of the Province. Such activities are the 
> acts of scoundrels and miscreants which threaten to undermine Righteous 
> Governance, the Imperial Authority, and Buddhist Law. It is with a heavy 
> heart in these, the latter days of the law, that we must take up arms to 
> defend our own lands; but it inspires young warriors, and it is clearly a 
> Noble Virtue to take up arms in the line of duty. May it appease the 
> Bodhisattvas and Kami alike to do so with the aim of defending those that 
> cannot take up arms for themselves.
>
> I humbly beg pardon for taking the time to put my affairs and estate in 
> order, and turning out my retainers with the necessary dispatches, this 
> will not delay my progress south, I will be there to answer your summons, 
> as I will be leaving closely behind this message, and rally those warriors 
> as I can draw.  The insult of these brigands to the Province will be 
> avenged, and we will have cause for celebration upon defeating these 
> miscreants.
>
> In the Hour of the Goat, 15th day, 4th month of Eimei (Reign of Robert and 
> Denise)
> Lord Takeda Sanjuichiro Akimasa
