The collection consists of 39 letters, lists, and other documents from and related to Pedro de Alomo. The letters constitute a portion of the official correspondence which Alomo maintained as governor of the most important port of Mexico. All of them fall within the year 1807 and appear to be concerned with the shipping commerce and business of the port. Included are lists of passengers on ships departing from Vera Cruz and reports to the governor on ships which enter and leave the port. The letters bear the signatures of Alomo and others.
