What Was The Role of David Herold

Many thanks to Steve for sending this information. Steve writes, "I have something to post to the Forum. It's the pages from Julia Grant's memoirs regarding the Lincoln assassination. I agree the men watching her at the luncheon and who followed the Grants' coach to the train station were probably the conspirators and there's a good chance the messenger earlier in the day could've been Herold or another, unknown, conspirator. However, I don't see how it's possible the creepy letter she received so soon afterward could've been mailed from one of the conspirators and arrive so quickly. It's definitely more likely a crank or a local (Burlington NJ area) Confederate supporter trying to scare the Grants."
