Surratt Courier

[Steve]

I just received the August 2019 Surratt Courier in the mail and I really want to commend Rick Smith's article, an updated reprint of his earlier October 2007 on the James Owens statement. I wasn't a member of the Surratt Society when it was originally printed and am glad to get a chance to read it now. (Even if I had been a member of the Society then, I was in Iraq then, so I might have missed it anyway.)

I wasn't aware of the 01 May 1865 memorandum by M. A. Clancey about Owens and his testimony.
