The “rubber box” or did Laura Keene indeed held Lincoln’s head?

[J. Beckert]

I don't know if you can post it Roger, but on page 90 of The Restoration of Ford's Theater there's a drawing of how the back of Ford's looked that includes the north and south additions. The south addition shows a set of stairs going from ground level to the second floor, where the lounge was located. Remembering that Booth had to cross under the stage to get to the south side tells me there was a door somewhere on the south wall that lead into the alley near Taltavul's. The illustration on page 91 shows this.
