In an effort to find "Snyder's" full name- I found B.G. Edward H. Ripley's book . (but I didn't find Snyder first name- Dagnabit!) see:
https://book.google.com?books?id=wUBLAAAAY. Skip down to pg 494 for "President Lincoln's Visit" and there it is in detail.
The rest of the book shows a lot about Ripley. He was a "collector", which makes me believe that he kept Snyder's statement. The book has the full statement, written 40 years later.
Ripley is from Vermont - maybe a Library up there has his papers. I think he 's from Battleboro, VT. ( He kept the key to Libby Prison, after he released the Federal Prisoners.) Tell me what you find, Plez!
