Yes, of course. Then perhaps you'd like to take a stab at answering the questions I posed about Mathews' belated story?

Some other questions come to mind:

* Why did Mathews decide to tell this story at the Johnson impeachment hearings, two years after the murder?

* Why didn't the letter supposedly mention either of the Surratts?

* Why didn't the letter supposedly mention O'Laughlen and Arnold?

* Why did the letter supposedly use the alias of Lewis Payne for Lewis Powell? Why wouldn't Booth have used the man's real name?

* Given Atzerodt's objections to and hesitancy about Booth's murder plan, why would Booth have described him as being as devoted as he was to his cause?
