Fray Alonso de Carvajal discusses the uprising of the Sangleyes (Chinese settlers) in Manila in 1639 and 1640.

Fray Carvajal recounts the swift mobilization of Spanish forces led by local officials and military commanders to confront the Sangleyes. He describes the chaotic scenes in Manila, with people rushing to arms, women fleeing, and soldiers preparing for battle. Despite initial chaos, some Sangleyes were ultimately confronted and overpowered, although casualties were reported on both sides. Carvajal also highlights the role of religious figures in maintaining order and providing spiritual support during the upheaval, emphasizing the tension between fear and the hope provided by their faith. He notes the strategic discussions that took place regarding how to handle the uprising and expresses concern for the safety of the community. The letter concludes with a sense of urgency regarding the situation and the ongoing threat posed by the Sangleyes. This text is in the volume with the title "Pertenece al Aparador dentro de la Pared. Caxn No 4. Missiones. Leg 2."
