Was supposed to be padding to prevent the secure transmissions from being broken and cracked but for Halsey, he took it at face value i.e. he thought Nimitz expressed that even the world wondered where the hell he was. Message in question from Nimitz:

He was asking where in the world is Halsey when 7th Fleet, then designated Taffey 3, was getting the shit beaten out of them off Samar from Center Force (that was THE most manly tear inducing feat anyone would even approve of) because he was busy trying to play hunter-killer with Ozawa's decoy force which actually succeeded in drawing him and his powerful carriers away from Leyte.

There was originally a grave miscommunication during the Leyte Campgain as TF-38 wasn't technically formed.
