For those of you who have read Eva's article, you know that she has a closing comment regarding lack of evidence that Henry Rathbone ever served in the U.S. Consulate in Germany. A member of the Surratt Society published a brief note in the newsletter about a year ago (long before Eva joined):

It was Henry's brother Jared L. Rathbone, who was appointed Consul General of Paris on May 18, 1887.
