This congratulatory letter is written with characters strung together, addressed to an unknown friend of the high-ranking courtier and literati scholar Konoe Nobutada:
“I have surely received your letter of the ninth: I congratulate you on being granted an increased stipend in Yoshu_ [Io, Ehime, Shikoku] from the Shogunate. Awaiting the time in the near future when you can come up to our province. I was much pleased to receive your good letter—congratulations, congratulations!”
