Letter from John Grimes Walker to John Hay
Admiral Walker, Chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commission, confirms receipt of Secretary of State Hay’s memorandum concerning the shipment of supplies, and states that as far as the commission is concerned, it has followed the memorandum by always using American ships to send materials to Panama when possible. He notes, however, that several large contracts have been closed with bidders, and that those contractors have arranged the transportation of materials themselves in the most economical manner.
