Anna Surratt interview

[J. Beckert]

His point about the Post Office doesn't make any sense as Booth supposedly said to deliver the letter if he didn't hear from him and not to if he did. I take that as meaning if he couldn't pull this off, he'd get the letter from Matthews first thing Saturday. He makes a point about trusting Matthews after he refused to join the plot, but it seems he trusted him enough as a friend to do him this favor. They seemed to remain on good terms after Matthews refusal. Matthews knew Booth's sympathies. It makes me wonder who else in Washington he would have trusted enough with this secret. How does Mills explain the diary entry?
