RE: Letter from Mary Surratt?
So then it would seem to me that the lady who approached Reis Library might have thought since the Anna Surratt letter was genuine (if indeed she had the original and not a forged copy) could have then assumed that the supposed letter from Mary Surratt was also genuine. I would like to find out more about how she went about "authenticating" it. This isn't a major part of my story, but it does fit into a larger picture of how people would try to use Tarbell to either sell her things or get her imprimatur for something they wanted to sell to someone else.
