This seems possible, but if Reck is correct, the dispatch was delivered during the third act; thus the timing between visits would not fit with what Clara stated.

Yes, very true. But the eyewitnesses stated Forbes only let Booth pass into the box itself one time. I am assuming Clara meant Booth came to door #8 which remained open during the play. Door #8 was at the end of the passageway behind the State Box. (Someone may want to correct me if I am incorrect on this --> I do not think Clara Harris, from her seat, could see someone standing right in front of the door to the passageway.)
