It is most esteemable that you will present a sparrow hawk to the shogun.  

A messenger will notify him of this most remarkable gift. When the Sakuramotobō monk arrives, he will speak of everything in detail.

I cannot explain everything now.

Respectfully,

The second year, 26th day. Ryōchō [copy of monogram]

To Kono Sōzaburō

I humbly send this letter.

梅仙軒霊超書状

鶏〔鷂〕一居上給候一段祝着

此事候　上意江被留置候

以使節可有言上由候間尤

珎重候桜本坊下向之時

具令申候条不能審候

恐々謹言

二月廿六日　霊超  在判

河野宗三郎殿

進之候
