OK, now it makes sense to me. I also want to know more about James Fowle. I see him mentioned quite a bit in the Hall and Tidwell papers, but am too lazy to research his role.

And yes, I know that you are a disciple of Tidwell, Hall, and Gaddy and are carrying on their work - god bless you.

James Fowle was a courier for the Confederacy. He did us a great favor when he testified at the Boutwell Hearings -1866. He tells us about the TWOSecret Services. One in the State Dept. and one in the War Dept. and that Agents did not know what other Agents were doing. They kept to themselves. Most of this is in "C.R." (that's handy and concise). I have the Boutwell Hearings (T'was expensive) When you get time I will lend it to the Research Center to copy.
Fowle was a young guy who died a little afetr the war. His sister was married to a Tayloe, who lived at "Clifton", (now called "Chatterton")
(We can visit??) Recognize "Benjamin Ogle Tayloe"? He lived next to Sec. Seward in D.C. He ran a spy ring all his own. His sister gave Fowle a "Safe House" in K.G. all his own. Fowle names some specific people who worked for the South, and were never found.
