Thanks, Laurie! My bad.....I did remember that Whitlock had some sort of connection with the Surratts - I've heard my mom talk about it....

You may have a point in that I can't find a source for the letter. I wonder if it came from the Neff-Baker ciphers

Nope - The letter is in the archives, left behind in the flight from Richmond. Published as Jacob Thompson, A Leaf from History.

I should know better than to doubt myself.

And you can find it here on the last page, page 4, second column about halfway down,
"I infer from your 'personal' in the New York News that it is your wish...."

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

I think the New York Crowd was involved in more than we will ever know!
