Lincoln artifacts at new America 250 exhibit at Reagan Library

[RJNorton]

I agree with Joe. Here's the list I had in my files: a pocketknife, a linen handkerchief, a sleeve button, a fancy watch fob, two pairs of spectacles, a lens polisher, a tiny pencil, and a brown leather wallet (one section was engraved "U.S. Currency" and another section was engraved "Notes"). The wallet contained a Confederate 5 dollar bill, and 9 old newspaper clippings. Included among these clippings were 2 articles of praise and 5 others dealing with the issues that were on Lincoln's mind during his final months. These items are now in the Library of Congress. A Ford's Theatre ticket stub is not on the list I have. Did the Lincoln party even need tickets?
