Booth's Words

They were part of a letter he left in the care of his sister Asia and her husband, and turned over to authorities, by them, after the crime. I don't mean to be provocative, but yes, I do have plenty of nasty adjectives for Booth, who was an idiot. He was said to be handsome but I've always thought he looked like a weasel. Maybe because I knew he assassinated a great man. He reminds me of the character Monty in the original Mildred Pierce, full of phony charm and holding onto glories of the past.

Oops. I was thinking it was part of the diary for some reason (probably since Booth does a lot of writing about God in it), but you are sure right. Thanks for setting me straight on that! It's apparent I need to reread all of the known Booth quotes and get them straight.

Despite my idiotic mistake with the quote (embarrassing!), we'll have to agree to disagree about Booth being an idiot and looking like a weasel. I still have plenty of thoughts on that particular quote from the letter and other Booth quotes to back up my opinion that I will post tomorrow unless some of the other folks who share my opinion post first.

Again, I appreciate you pointing out my mistake!

EDIT: I will make an entirely new thread on this topic soon so this one doesn't get hijacked.

EDIT 2: Actually it's not even worth making a new thread over since the subject has already been discussed here plenty of times, and I know when not to waste my time with certain folks.
