Anna Surratt interview

[RJNorton]

Does anyone know about a second letter Booth wrote that afternoon? In American Brutus Mike Kauffman talks about the letter Booth gave Mathews on p. 220-221. Then on p. 223 it says:

George W. Bunker and Henry Merrick were at the desk of the National Hotel when Booth came in. They both noticed how pale he looked, and Bunker asked if he was ill. Booth said he was fine. He asked for a piece of paper, and took it behind the desk to write. Merrick saw him still sitting there a few minutes later, with a confused look on his face.

"Is it 1864 or 1865?" he asked.

"Don't know what year you live in?" Merrick replied.

Booth didn't answer. He just folded up the paper and dropped it into the mailbox."

I am confused. Is this the letter Coyle (at the trial) denied receiving?
