What would Booth and Davis say to each other?

[Jim Garrett]

Good question Bill. IMO, a humble one, I think Judah Benjamin probably shielded Davis from the clandestine ops. But would Davis had said, "Don't want to know the details". With the Dahlgren raid,would he have supported a political assassination? Davis seemed to be pretty well bent on not surrendering the South. But Davis had a famously short fuse for blunders.

I think he would have been angry for being out of the loop. Maybe Jeff Davis would have said, "Next time, let me know."
