Letter from Mary Surratt?

[Christine]

Just a shot in the dark, since I've been on 'leave' from my Aiken studies, but it seems that the letter bears a bit of resemblance to Freddie's style of writing! I'd have to compare letters a bit more, but I wonder if he wrote it. . . clues: he often did a long crossing of the t; capitalized the e that way, his capital 's' sometimes looked like that - his letter to Jefferson Davis had the S in Stevens looking like an L(frustratingly, he had at least 3 different ways to write capital S), and almost every letter that I've found contained the word 'respectfully'

This is a bit more sloppy than many of his, except the ones written during the war when he was hurrying. Here is a letter from him written to Seward in 1861. http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/P?ma...mem_5DgB::

This letter from/in behalf of Anna would have been written about 1868, so his style was a bit different then. I'll have to look up a few others to see if I can determine if he wrote it.

Do you have any letters to compare Anna's writing to?
