RE: Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination
Betty and Eva, thank you very much. Believe me, your words are appreciated!

Back to Tom's book. I believe this book may be the first one I've seen that gives the location of where John Mathews burned the letter John Wilkes Booth gave him during the afternoon of April 14th. I have read all sorts of places where Mathews burned the letter; included among the places are the theater itself and the Petersen House. Some books just say he burned it in his room without giving a location. Well, it turns out Mathews was living in a boardinghouse on L Street, and he burned the letter there.
