Generally these letters don't have a limit or threshold on signatures. There were 38 readily available senators who wanted to sign the letter. This doesn't have any procedural meaning other than an office sending a letterhead to another.
Any senators missing from the letter can now publically address it to reference their stance, or perhaps they've already made public statements on the matter.

Only 38 senators? Not even the entire party?

Yeah I knew 10 of them were feckless quislings already, but who are the other two?

For some reason Gary Peters aligned with Schumer on the spending bill, but also signed this

This is mostly for show. Nothing will stop the maga shitheads from plowing forward.
