The earlier letters commend the army's brave acts to combat sedition and include proposals for distributing awards of merit to the leaders.

A few years later, a letter to Captain Anaya discusses the idea of unity among the provinces. At the end of this series there is correspondence between Captain Anaya and Juan Enrique Gugliamelli, Director of the Center of High Studies and of the Superior School of War, in which they discuss the ongoing tribute paid to the uprising in Santa Cruz.
