In Search Of
A descendant of a Joseph Abel says that we have his manuscript in our library, but unless it is filed in Mr. Hall's voluminous records on Louis Weichmann, we have yet to find it.

Anyone ever heard of A History of the Trial of Mrs. Mary Surratt as Told to Me by a Mr. Lewis Weichman at the Time of President Lincoln's Assassination."

I'm already suspicious of an author who doesn't know how to spell his subject's first name...

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

RE: In Search Of
Thanks, Steve. I just found out tonight that the lady who is requesting the article saw mention of it on this very forum. We have searched Weichmann files, but not the extensive ones from the personal research of James O. Hall. He was in touch a great deal with Erich Ewald of Anderson, Indiana, who is/was a true expert on Louis. I remember calling Erich when this topic appeared on the forum. At that time, he said that he had quit most of his research on Weichmann.

I have it. Want me to scan it for you? (That old thread sure brought back some memories.)

Susan, I love you! If you could scan and send directly to colleen.puterbaugh@pgparks.com that would help tremendously. She will have to find it, scan it, and send it electronically anyhow. And, this way, we'll have it on an electronic file -- which is ultimately our goal (just abut twenty more file drawers to go!).
