Booths Diary

[L Verge]

I agree with Scott; every account I have ever read has the diary among the items taken from Booth's body.

I believe that Conger testified that the diary was given to Stanton, but that at some point Stanton gave to JAG Holt. I believe that Bill Hanchett found reference to Conger and Baker claiming later that one of the pages missing from the diary was a sketch of a house that they wanted to identify as possibly being the Surratt boardinghouse.
