Correspondence, literary productions, and decrees relating to Degollado's military and political career. Correspondence pertains primarily to Mexican military and political affairs, mostly from 1856 to 1861. Several letters in the collection, dated after Degollado's death, are addressed to Jesús González Ortega. A few items relate to the 1876 controversy between Santos Degollado's son, Mariano Degollado, and the son of Benito Juárez, also called Benito Juárez, concerning blame for the death of the elder Degollado. Literary productions describe Degollado's life and death. Two decrees dated 1858 and 1859 are from his tenure as Secretary of War and Navy and General-in-Chief of the Federal Army.
