Gary, I wonder how serious JWB ever really was about Lucy. I just have trouble picturing him as a settled, married man. Certainly he knew he could never marry Lucy after assassinating the president. When I read the notes/letters he wrote to other women, I just wonder if he could have really settled down with one.

This is what I wonder also. Booth was a young, attractive, famous man, who could have had just about any woman he wanted. And I believe he did have pictures of FIVE women on him when he died, right? I suppose there is a point to be made about being on his death bed and his real feelings coming out, but I just have a very hard time buying it. I think Booth was a womanizer, and as such would never have become that attached to any one of them.
