Not that I know of. I can also add that Dr. Leale's initial accounts did not mention Laura Keene's presence. It was not until 44 years later (1909) that Dr. Leale included her in the box. I do not want to diminish Dr. Leale's efforts on behalf of the stricken President, but there are some people who feel Dr. Leale did some embellishing in his 1909 address.
