This lady has been previously mentioned on this forum. In 1865, when asked if a certain individual (male) were handsome, she responded by saying in Washington she had not seen any remarkably handsome men. Who is she?

Just a guess, but Kate Chase?

Nope, it was not Kate Chase.

Anna Surratt ?

Kudos, Gene! Anna Surratt it is. On April 28, 1865, Anna was being questioned by Colonel John A. Foster. She was asked if Lewis Powell were a handsome fellow. She responded, "I would not know - I have not seen any remarkably handsome men since I have been in Washington. I didn't like him."
