This collection consists of some 145 reports written by Juan José Ruiz de Apodaca, count of Venadito, one of the last viceroys of New Spain. Ruiz de Apodaca prepared them for the Spanish Minster of War. The reports (called cartas, ie, letters in English) are detailed summaries of the Ruiz de Apodaca's work as viceroy and cover his entire time as viceroy (1816-1821). Each report is numbered and begins with a précis of the report; there are also cross references to other reports. The dominant theme of the reports is the Mexican War of Independence. Ruiz discusses troop movements, loyalties of regional authorities, actions throughout Mexico to quell the rebellion. Such accounts are sometime month-to-month and discuss specifically the names of persons involved, eg, Francisco Xavier Mina, the rebel leader; or Joaquín de Arredondo, the Spanish military commander. In addition, Ruiz de Apodaca discusses the impact of the revolutionary war on Mexican society. He also provides such details as list of supplies requisitioned for the government.
