[Pamela]

I assume Clara wrote the letter at the behest of Surratt or Booth or someone in Surratt's confidence. It sounds odd, like there is some code involved with the dates in parentheses and underlined, or a hidden message. Where are the lengthy letters he wrote to Clara? And he should have had letters from her in his trunk. You can't actually think it's legit with zero proof.

John Surratt was preparing for being caught. I believe he transferred property into his mother's name. If it had been sent to Weichmann or planted in his trunk, detectives would have traced it to her and he would have been compromised, as Booth did with the telegram, Mary used him, etc. All part of their ugly games and Lincoln killing conspiracy.
