With all the new scholarship in regard to Booth’s murder of Lincoln, this crime historian wonders what clues the contents of his post office box or dead letters could and/or would reveal. Remarkably, the pair of postal departments, Confederate and Union were the best run bureaucracies throughout the Civil War. That’s not to say the two services didn’t have battles between themselves because their contest and competition during wartime were key elements of their successes, but by the time the conflict ended in 1865, the two American mail services had had an uncivilized war they could very well call their own.

The author of this article makes the following disclaimer before proceeding further. He neither professes nor pretends any proficiency pertaining to philately. He refers those readers who have interest in further study as regards Confederate and /or Civil War era postage stamp history to two renowned references: The Postal Service of the Confederate States of America by August A. Dietz & Confederate States of America: The Special Postal Routes by Lawrence L. Shenfield, published in 1929 and 1961, respectively.

A Man Of Letters

John Wilkes Booth, in addition to being an actor and assassin, was also a writer of letters. Booth’s ego being what it was, he was convinced people wanted to know his thoughts on topics of the day. However, surviving samples of his correspondence with family and friends are precious and few. God only knows how much of his writing, in the possession of others, was destroyed after the assassination due to dread of guilt by association and fear of prosecution by military, not civilian courts.
