Several letters in this compilation are adressed to the author's sister, Susana Alonso Terán and his cousin Jose Ignacio de la Torre. In others, the author of the letters makes reference to his brother Antonio Alonso Terán. The author of the letters contained in this compilation was probably Francisco Alonso y Terán. Cf.
