Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions

[RJNorton]

Anita, I think you are right with Barnum's. (I realized after I wrote the question that there was probably more than one right answer.)

Eva, you got the one I had in mind - the Parker House in Boston. Booth stayed there when he was in Boston, and Mary stayed there when she visited Robert at Harvard. The menu I posted was from the Parker House.

Thank you to all who participated! You all win the use of a time machine which will take you back to the Parker House in late July of 1864. Historians are not all in agreement regarding whether JWB really had a Parker House clandestine meeting with Confederate agents who were using aliases. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to determine if the clandestine meeting really took place.
