The buggy was primarily used by Mary Surratt to pick up travelers (spies) at the rail station and travel between her house in the city and Surratsville. IMO it was to enhance confederate operations in Washington.

I don't ever remember seeing that reference, Jerry. What is your source?

1865 events. Sarah Slater was picked up by buggy from the train station to the Surratt boarding house. Franklin Stringfellow was deposited by buggy to Surratt tavern. 1+1 = my opinion
