It is true and clear that I will transfer the above rice fields with the agreement that you pay tanomoshi of 4 to (of rice) per year for 16 years from this year end …
[This part also says something about “130 momme of silver”, but I can’t get the whole picture of the contract.]

Therefore please include them in your kokudaka and manage them from the next 8th month.
