Booth in Boston April 1865

thanks
my question was about Lucy's promiscuity. my computer says the response was lost

The reasoning for her promiscuity seems entirely circular to me. How do we know it was she who checked in at a hotel with Booth--because she and her sister were sexually promiscuous! How do we know that she and her sister were sexually promiscuous? Because they met Booth and his friend at a hotel!

It seems to be assumed by some authors that Lucy and her sister were the ladies behind the code names "Jack and Bob" mentioned by McCullough, without any supporting evidence being offered.
