When Colonel Cadwallader Jones handed me the dispatch for my husband, I had not the faintest clue that it was concerning President Lincoln's assassination. The question of who had killed him was definitely on my mind for the longest time. I thought for sure the South would be blamed, but as Mary Darby said, "they murdered him themselves. No Confederates are in Washington." He may be the first killed in office, but I assure you that for as long as there are still problems, even without the war, he will not be the last.

I must agree with you, there is no way a former Confederate could have done this. Let us hope we are not blamed.
