** NEW DISCOVERY REGARDING BOOTH AUTOPSY PHOTO

[Rhatkinson]

John,

Thank you for your article on the autopsy photo. It would certainly seem to settle the question, but I wonder what you make of Wardell's letter where he says that he delivered the negative to Stanton per his orders. Was this just implied in Wardell's letter (I just read a synopsis of the letter on Barry's site and not the actual letter) or did he literally write that? I can't imagine why he would say that a photo had been taken if that was not the case. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
