Anna Surratt interview

[RJNorton]

Joe, Mills gives a series of reasons why he feels the letter never existed. For example he questions why such an important letter would be trusted to Mathews (who already turned down a role in the kidnap plot). Mills feels if the letter really existed Booth would have used the post office. Why give the letter to a cast member at Ford's who (Mills feels) would open the letter and not deliver it once the shot was fired and the assassin known. Regarding the letter Mills concludes, "It never happened."
