November 1864 Classified Ad by JWB

[jparkuntz]

I looked unsuccessfully for any federal legislators named "J. B. Wilkes."

Was either Surratt or Booth well-versed enough in spycraft to follow the scenario Steve suggests? (I'm not impressed that Booth was very cunning.)

BTW, I have no theories as to what is going on. I just have a suspicion, based on years of newspaper clipping research tracking individuals, those November ads were placed by JWB.
