Booth's Note to Johnson

[Craig Hipkins]

If anyone has a copy of Andrew Johnson's memoirs it might say where he was when John Wilkes Booth was in Nashville. I know that the Mecklenburg County library has a copy here in Charlotte but I won't have a chance to get over there for at least a week to look.

I too find it hard to believe that Johnson would have shared Booth's proclivities with him. First of all, the two men were political opposites. Secondly, Johnson was 30 years older than Booth which may or may not matter.
