Dr. Mudd's name on Booth's notes ?

[John E.]

I find Thomas Eckert and Alexander Gardner to be two of the most fascinating characters of the assassination drama. However, I think I'd (at a safe distance from Eckert of course) chew both these guys out for not writing memoirs of their experiences. Shame on Gardner for being so close to history and not saying much about it and for Eckert not jotting down those notes for Seward.

What were they thinking? Didn't they realize that 148 years later we'd be discussing this stuff??
