Thanks to Steve for sending this information. Steve writes, "These images are of two different tax records for Austin L. Adams from September 1864. One is for his tavern in Newport, Maryland and the other is for his work as a cattle broker in Washington DC. There are a couple other tax records from both places but I wanted to post examples from both places from the same month. Adams was constantly moving between Maryland and Washington which makes me think he was part of the same spying/smuggling network for the Confederates. Especially with Owens' describing Adams and his wife making Booth and Herold several meals while hiding out in the woods.
