Fascinating History

[AussieMick]

The visit occurred in Feb 1862 ....
I read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Lambert_Hale
and see that in February 1862 (or 1865 ... but the confusion seems odd and 1865 is surely wrong) that Booth sent a Valentine card to Lucy Hale.

It just seems a highly unusual sequence of events happening in February 1862. It would be interesting if we could get a specific date for that visit.

I obviously have no idea how reliable the information on wikipedia is ... it seems to suggest that Hale and Booth were "swinging hands" for 3 years.
