Theodore Roosevelt has received General Hamilton’s letter, the contents of which were wired to him in San Francisco. In response to the letter, Roosevelt wrote to Colonel Goethals, Colonel Gorgas, and Joseph Bucklin Bishop at the Isthmus, and he is confident that they will do all they can to help Hamilton. Roosevelt requests that Hamilton come out for the evening on the 8th or 9th.
