RE: What would Booth and Davis say to each other?
I'll keep looking, but it's not where I thought it was. Basically, it was a recollection of a former CSA War Dept. officer who stated he was present when Booth and another party were in Davis' office. He stated Booth laid out his plan and Davis really showed no interest one way or another. He stated Booth ended the meeting by saying "He must die", referring to Lincoln. After he left, the man stated Davis said the plan was not serious and those two men were merely in Richmond "to see the sights".
