Any thoughts about what Mary Surratt would have done if Weichmann wasn't given a half day off on April 14th? Would she have gone to his place of employment to ask him to take off work? Would she have gone to Surratt tavern by herself? Would she just not have gone? Also, she had Weichmann write the note to Nothey on the 14th including signing her name. Why did she have Weichmann write the note? Any ideas?

I really do not know. All I can say is how different history might be if Stanton had not let War Department workers off to attend religious services that Good Friday. Laurie can best answer this, but my initial thought is that she would not make such a trip all alone. But who knows!
