** NEW DISCOVERY REGARDING BOOTH AUTOPSY PHOTO

[L Verge]

Laurie, I think(?) collector Keya Morgan acquired a large part of Ostendorf's Lincoln-related holdings.

Years ago, I tried to contact Mr. Morgan, but never got a response. Of course, I have subsequently lost the contact information. If anyone has it, I'll be happy to contact him again, specifically inquiring about the Wardell letter.

The Alexandria, Virginia, Public Library System is a member of the Surratt Society, so I am going to contact them to see if they can verify the presence of a James Wardell in any of their city directories for that time period. I'm sure that that is one of the first places that Mike Kauffman checked, but just in case... John, yell at me before Monday if you have already checked with Alexandria.
