a black coat
a pistol, loaded and capped
a bank-book of J. Wilkes Booth showing a credit of $455
a map of Virginia
a handkerchief marked ''Mary R. E. Booth"
another handkerchief marked " F. M." or " F. A." Nelson
another handkerchief with the letter "H" in the corner
an envelope with the frank of the Hon. John Conness
a pair of new gauntlets
a colored handkerchief
three boxes of Colt cartridges
a piece of licorice
a toothbrush
a brass spur
a pair of socks
two collars
a large bowie knife

I don't know if any of those items still exist except the knife, which is on display at Ford's Theatre. There's too many spurs connected to the case to know which is which or which one(s) are legit.
