RE: Booth's visit to the Surratt Boarding House after the assassination
Jerry,In Anthony Pitch's book,he found a "Letter to Lincoln"in the J.Holt Collection.The letter-2-21-1865 warning Lincoln of assassination in March.Postmarked Dansville,NY-Sender unknown.I thought the handwriting looked familar and had 3 hand writing experts[RIT-XEROX-ARCHIVIST AT ROCHESTER'S MUSEUM]we all agreed that it was Surratt's[compared to his other handwriting items] I sent the theory to Tom Turner,he was intrigued by it and had it published in "The Lincoln Herald"-The main part of the theory is that Surratt sent the letter as a change of heart and a warning!
