Those Booth Horses Again -

[Gene C]

After rereading his diary/notebook it is my impression that Booth knew someone was going to read his notations. This wasn't for private use only. He knew he had traveled less than 60 miles. He knew where he had broken his leg. He is writing as though he was explaining and justifying his actions to someone else, not himself. Plus, considering what he has done, he has enough time on his hands, he could certianly have written a lot more, if he had wanted to. I think he put down exactly what he wanted someone else to read.
