Ruggles. Bainbridge and Jett at the River

[JMadonna]

The romantic in me would like to suggest that he went to Boston to see Isabel Sumner (unbeknownst to Lucy Hale!). Otherwise, does anyone know where Edwin and Mrs. Booth were in April of 1865?

I think Edward was between his first and second wife at that time.

In April, The Boston Daily Advertiser printed an advertisement for Edwin Booth’s scheduled matinee performance as “Hamlet” to conclude his successful three-week Boston engagement. Just three columns to the right was the report on the assassination the night before.

The show did not go on.
