This is also my opinion. Some of the claims such as attending Cabinet meetings, special one-on-one meetings with individual Cabinet members, carrying (on horseback) vital messages from Lincoln to Union troops in Virginia, and a special private conference with Lincoln on assassination day seem IMO to more likely come from Coggeshall himself.
