Thank you for asking the right question instead of just downvoting. I normally wouldn’t link to a Reddit post, but this AskHistorians comment is of decent quality. It in turn cites a document that then has good citations of its own.
Yes, but with a specific reason. It’s a particularly high quality post on a subreddit, AskHistorians, where only historians can answer. AskHistorians has a good track record of producing high quality answers. In turn, it links to a well sourced blog post.

This is like listening to Cuban gusanos about Cuba.
There are multiple documents used. Please try harder if you’re going to be dismissive.
