Clara Harris and Mary Lincoln

[RJNorton]

Thanks to Steve for sending this article. Steve writes, "I have an article to post to the Forum. It's from page 4 of the 18 April 1865 edition of the New York Times. The correspondence is dated the 15th, though. In it the officer in charge of the guards at Ford's Theatre after it was secured following the assassination, Capt. James M. McCalmy. McCalmy was later part of the honor guard escorting Lincoln's body back to Illinois."
