Joseph Bucklin Bishop did not receive Theodore Roosevelt’s letter until General Ian Hamilton left. However, George W. Goethals, Governor of the Panama Canal Zone, showed Hamilton most of the work. Bishop is touched that Roosevelt remembered his longing for the northern spring. He will inform Roosevelt when he and his wife, Harriet Hartwell Bishop, arrive in New York City, and they can have a “good talk.”
