JW Booth and Quinine

I just finished reading this "topic" from the beginning, and back in 2015 Betty O (Post 6) was looking for a druggist in Baltimore. Wasn't Lewie's handler - a Druggist? Those Posts discuss other people who might have been "carriers".
This is exactly what it takes to discover what those people were doing.
Read - read - read- etc.
While reading - think! For example, how much of any letters that we can read - is CODE? The typical code is "zgrmttixyz" and is easily recognizable as a code. But if the Code is "Have you heard from my Cousin?" is not recognizable as a code. How about - "I got the pictures that you sent?", is that a code?
This is how I feel about Tompkins. Booth was far too chummy, with him to be a casual acquaintance. Booth had quit the stage, so he wasn't looking for a gig. This topic needs work.
