Responding to Hamlin's "letter requesting me to furnish the Committee over which you preside, any and all evidence" for an investigation into misconduct in arms sales. Discusses his speeches in the Senate on the issue. Stands by his accusations and indicates that he knows of people who could offer evidence by way of testifying. Suggests himself as the most able examiner, which is problematic since he had been excluded from the committee.
