RE: Where was Booth on April 3rd, 1865?
This Hand writing business opens up more and more questions, for example: Could the clerk have written it? In the case of Slater, "signing in" - she only did it once - at 3 AM,and it's different. There are several examples of "John Harrison and A. Reynaud" signing in at the same time, but the handwriting looks like Rev. Stephen Cameron wrote it. Finding handwriting that matches , is favorable - but not conclusive. It may be a little off, on purpose. I have been able to compare Slater's signature on her Divorce papers, and her Will, and they are not the same. (Close, but not the same). I have found it necessary to consider Handwriting only one of the clues you need. Laurie, the word after "Lady" is "Boston" (? ? ?). Can we agree on where Booth was on the 3rd?

PS. I meant to add - the hotel page is dated April 5. ANOTHER discrepancy!
