"Alias Paine"

[Jim Page]

Hey, Rob--

If it matters, whether Powell followed orders from the North or the South wouldn't make a dime's worth of difference to me. Whether he looked upon Booth as being his "cap" or someone else would be interesting to me, though.

Perhaps my greatest interest in the Lincoln assassination is whether the CSA was operationally involved, via Richmond or Canada. To me, that is something worth finding out if such a thing is even possible at this late date. Having worked with government folks and having read Richard II, I suspect that a person lower down the food chain could have divined the wishes of those above, or at least convinced himself that he had.

Just my thoughts; worth just what you paid for them!
