Can I purchase a copy of that booklet from Surratt House? I'd LOVE to have a copy! Thanks -

Betty - I tried to find a copy today and couldn't. I ended up going to the volumes that were written in the 1960s as justification for restoring the Surratt House. The booklet was done about 1990, I think, and given to docents as a condensed version.

If I find one, I will certainly duplicate more. If not, once Joseph returns Rick's copy to him, I will con Rick into letting me print more.

Frankly, now that Joseph has so much information, I think he should become a snowbird and fly to Southern Maryland each year from October to April to give tours at the museum.

I will be at work tomorrow and will supply the answer at that time, when I have the books in front of me. We also have a county newspaper announcing his licensing, but I'm not sure it is for the original period in 1852.
