A Series of letters addressing the situation of the 6.000 pesos approved by real hacienda to be given to the Asentista of the presidio of Coahuila, problem arises in this regard because Fermo refuses to take charge of the comission given to him by Ugalde; the solution to this problem is that the 6.000 will be handed over to the avilitado of the presidio San Antonio Bucareli de la Bahia who will use it for the same purposes originally intended, the pacification of the Indian groups mentioned; in a later letter it becomes evident that the real hacienda is going to suspend the 6.000 pesos because Ugalde has not submitted the necessary paperwork for the year 1787 as requested by the junta Superior in 1788 on the spending of sums in previous years; next letter in Series sees Ugalde asking that personnel funds that he spent in the employment of Pena during 1788 be reimbursed to him in 1789 budget; letter mentions relacion sent by Ugalde of employment of Dependiente and two cadetes during 1787-1788 and that the Dependiente disputes the salary proposal of 1.000 pesos a year as too little because of the extent of his work in the Provincias Internas, asked for 1.200 pesos a year, document also shows the salaries of the cadetes mentioned; Ugalde states that the sums not spent in 1788 on pacification cannot cover the costs of the Dependiente and the two cadetes; letter from signatories of the junta Superior of the real hacienda telling Ugalde that his salary of 6.000 pesos is enough to cover the costs of the employees mentioned.

Letter speaks of a peace plan with Comanches, the first part a meeting of three Comanche captains with governor of Texas governor of Luisiana would like to know the particulars of this meeting and what and how much was given to the Comanches in the form of bribes or keepsakes, Ugalde wants to highlight the contradictions in this effort, mentions that they are the only remaining cannibalistic tribe, and cites information found in correspondence of governor of Texas to underline the violent nature of the Comanches and their history of being the most obstinate of the enemies of the Spanish, sees little hope in a peace plan with them, contrasts the character of the Comanches with that of the Apache Lipanes, group that most involves itself with the church, have fought against the Apache Mescaleros and thereby pleased the Spanish, Ugalde expresses concerns that peace with Comanches under very favorable terms will incite the jealousy of other tribes as well as a reexamination of their status, cites the lack of a mechanism to enforce compliance from Comanches as a drawback to proposed peace (Spanish have never entered Comanche territory to punish past hostilities for example). Feels that free transit of Comanches would be used to their benefit in further hostilities, thinks that verification of captives being held by Comanches should be part of the plan, accuses the makers of the plan of using trade provisions to enhance their own commerce and feels that a black market will be the result, questions the ability of enforcing compliance to a treaty provision that will have the Comanches establish their intertribal relations on the Basis of the ones followed by the Spanish, sees little motivation to expect the Comanches to declare themselves enemies of Apaches as treaty provides. Treaty will allow them to have their internal taxes, would like more intelligence of when Indian groups enter area near San Pedro for carneadas so Spanish can be prepared for unexpected occurrences, thinks that the alliance that would ensue between Lipanes and Mescaleros would create a force that would offset the untenable peace that will have been established with the Comanches, Ugalde mentions the progress he is making in the reduction of Mescaleros precisely because they are not Allied. In regard to provision that states that as long as Comanches are Allied with Spanish they will receive gratificaciones Ugalde argues that in the past those periods of greatest hostility with Comanches were usually preceeded by periods in which this transfer of goods was high. Mentions arms in this matter. In summing up Ugalde mentions law that forbids people to show Indians their trade and also forbids them to live in their houses with the penalty being 100 pesos or upon the discretion of virrey exile. Has questions about how to determine what faction of Comanches in the future will be committing the hostilities because of the size of the group and the varied interests that each group has. (O.
