I haven't researched Ella in any depth, but I can believe in her having written the "N" letter. The "Etta" letter, by contrast, sounds completely contrived to me.

I agree that the Etta letter is most likely a hoax. I also agree it sounds like Ella/Nellie wrote this particular letter from Booth’s trunk due to the tone and reference to “Mollie S.” If I am able to find the image for this sucker and it has the words underlined as Abel writes, I don’t know if I want to kiss him for this discovery or smack him for not properly documenting it.
