"Stump the Yankee"

[J. Beckert]

That's it, Roger! While sharing room 231 at the National Hotel with Booth on March 25th., 1865, McCullough was awakened by tears dripping on his face. Seeing Booth standing over him, he asked, "Why, what is the matter?". Booth replied, "My God, my God, how peacefully you were sleeping! I cannot sleep!"

A female acquaintance once said Booth was so strange, he awoke at night to converse with spirits. Edwin's "vulture hours" also make me think they shared some kind of imbalance that greatly disturbed them both.

8 cans of peas in 2 days and I still got beat like a borrowed mule. I guess them things only work for Rebels.
