The Voice of Nettie Mudd

[Laurie Verge]

Thanks, Bob, I was afraid you were going to say that!

Dave - your article on Mudd's attempt to escape will be the lead article in the November issue of the Surratt Courier, which will head to the printer in the next few days. Betty's article pushed you out of line last month. Sorry.

Like you, I have also questioned the photo of Mudd at the carpentry shop. I just don't see a photographer being invited or even coming to the island to photograph any of the conspirators. One of the reasons their sentences were changed from the prison in Albany to the Dry Tortugas was to keep them as isolated from the public as possible. And, even if the photo was taken at the prison, how did Mudd have such nice civilian clothes to pose in? Something is just not right, IMO.
