RE: Sarah A. "Whatser name"
In another thread I asked if there was a (remote) possibility the lady with Booth in Newport could have been Sarah Slater. I think it's at least possible the lady was not Lucy Hale (although a lot of books surmise this). But my question for the forum is this: Sarah Slater, in her role as a Confederate courier, often traveled with a male escort (John Surratt, for example). How did she spend her nights - did she stay in a hotel room with the escort and sign in as "lady?" Or did she get her own room and the male escort stayed in another? Or did the pair often stay in "safe houses" during their travels? I know John Surratt used a series of false names in hotels during his time as a courier; he was "Harry Sherman" when staying in Richmond with Sarah Slater.
