Booth had to go to Baltimore first (to visit relatives) and continue on to New York and Canada. The stop in Boston is my "unkown".
Did the people in Canada come to him?. Did he give up his mission?
or was he running so late that he gave up seeking reinstatement to the position as "number one assassin". ( There is a "cover story " available about his visit in Boston, to his Pharmacist Buddy.) That' Baloney! (Will we ever know it all?)

So are you saying there is a record of him in Canada or are you saying there is a record of him meeting his people from Canada, elsewhere?

I apologize for being so vague. (I was trying to be brief). Booth did not make it to Canada. He stopped off in Boston. The "cover story" was that he visited a Pharmacist friend and ordered photographs. This is really unbelievable. There is no record of him meeting any one from Canada. He was in Boston for 2 or more days, so there was time for a meeting, but there is no record of one.
PS. When the pics were delivered to Washington, they arrived at Ford's Theater. Booth picked them up. and heard about the President's impending visit to the play. The rest is history.

Why would Booth go all the way Boston - to order pictures? There had to be a better reason than that. I wish we knew.
