Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination

[RJNorton]

It looks like the two authors differ. Tony Pitch indicates the letter written at the National Hotel was the same letter Booth gave to Mathews. On the other hand Mike Kauffman on p. 221 has Booth giving a letter to Mathews and then on p. 223 has Booth writing another letter that he dropped in the mailbox at the National Hotel.

Mr. Kauffman implies the letter given to Mathews was written at Grover's.
