I cant make this out even after searching Numista for HOURS. I managed to type of a separate doc “壹匁” but I wrote the rest on paper. I will show you. (sorry about poor camera quality). Do any of you know what this is?

“壹匁代預/一色村役人”.

This was issued as an advance note for one monme of silver (approximately 3.75 grams) in a small village in present-day Mie Prefecture.
