It contains all the notes he could find, and was preparing to write a book on "THE HISTORY OF THE CONFEDERATE SECRET SERVICE. Unfortunately, he never wrote the book. The file has copies of the letters you mention. I am not questioning what you read, but I didn't see that letter. Another item that is different, I read that Thompson went to Portland, Maine, alone,and was there on April 14. He was spotted there by the Provost Marshal - Do you know that story?

First, I admire, respect, and appreciate those of you who search into the museums and libraries and find letters and manuscripts, old church records and cemeteries, city directories, census info and other places. I have no idea how to do that, where to look and what to look for, and don't have the patience if I did know. Y'all have uncovered and brought back into the light some amazing things.

I don't know the story of Thompson in Portland. Love to hear it.
