Extremely Rare Booth Autographed Letter

[LincolnMan]

I missed this thread when it was first started. That is an amazing letter and piece of history! Wow. Yes, it is interesting that he says he was drinking alcohol - being so young. We also see again that he is willing to become violent in the name of honor- to defend his sister. Was not that kind of thinking one of the drivers behind his killing of Lincoln? There has been much discussion about Booth possibly being mentally ill. I've often wondered if he was a sociopath, as well. He has some of the hallmarks of one- charming when needing to be- manipulative, ect. I think I read somewhere that when Wilkes was a boy he killed a cat or some cats- am I remembering correctly? I thought at the time that he may have a budding sociopath. Well, I've rambled enough.
