If my friend's bruise could turn so serious, I kept wondering what a broken bone being jostled around was doing inside Booth's leg for twelve days. I believe there is also a reference somewhere about the leg being rather sloppily wrapped and not really getting support. I tend to believe the soldier's statement that Booth's leg looked quite bad by the time he got across the Rappahannock River.

Thanks Laurie, that's the kind of information I wanted to know.

Hope your friend will be doing better soon.
