Booth's diary and missing pages

[CJSchoonover]

I would be interested to know what the process would be as I don't see how any tests could reveal what the missing pages would say. I would be for it if there would be no damage done to the diary. When the FBI examined it in the 80's or 90's did they come up with anything?
Great topic!

That's my question also - what is the process? And, are you aware that the FBI examined that entire diary soemtime in the 1980s or early-90s? There used to be a website devoted to it.

P.S. I run the Surratt House Museum, and I would not release anything to private citizens to "test" unless ordered to do so and with specific plans fully outlined in advance. What other such artifacts have you worked on? Preservation of history is foremost in importance.
