Roosevelt asks the postmaster to hire a messenger to deliver the enclosed letter to Domingues, to have the messenger write Kermit if Domingues was found and agrees to meet Kermit, and to tell Kermit of a grocery store so as to purchase provisions. Roosevelt asks the postmaster to send a bill for expenses.
