The truck driver who first alerted me to the missing sign at the site of the Garrett farm over a month ago had sent a photo of the white rag that the thieves had left behind. He sent a larger view yesterday because he (and now I) are intrigued with the unusual way the cloth is tied in multiple fashions. Does anyone have a clue as to whether the form of knotting might have some symbolism? Our friend's name, btw, is Gareth Denham, and he's a Marylander -- and now has a one year, complimentary membership in the Surratt Society because of his actions on behalf of our "cause."
