It might be something separate? Hijikata-san isn't a very cryptic person, no... He's very blunt.

[This letter also seems blunt to him honestly HE'S JUST MISSING THE PIECES HE NEEDS FOR IT TO MAKE SENSE.]

He may have been in contact with someone else and tied to that letter, this one makes more sense...?

[BUT RIGHT, the rest... of the investigation... For now, unless Ion protests, he'll fold up the letter and slip it back into the envelope to keep.]

We can ask around later, I suppose. [FOR NOW, he'll just. Look under the table, just in case.]
