Booth's mistress, Ella Starr, and other "unknown" Booth ladies!

[Jenny]

Rsmyth, thank you for reminding me! I've heard of two versions of the note. One has the words "my darling baby" and is signed "E.T." The other version has the words "my darling boy" instead and is signed "E.S." I wonder which version it really was! Probably the version that was written about first, and I am not sure which one that is! I will look into that!

Herb,
Henrietta is an interesting character! That lady even looks like she was a spitfire! The story I am most familiar with regarding her is the infamous knife incident in Albany when she attacked Wilkes and then attempted suicide in 1861. What else have you found on her during the time she was in her relationship with Booth? I'm very curious and would love to help you out in researching her if you've hit some roadblocks!

John,
I was unaware of that. I'll edit the original post to exclude Sarah.
