Hi, I'm Jack Ronayne living in Birmingham , England. I enclose my photograph. I am still passionately concerned about the death of Lincoln and write to make people realise that much of what any culture understands to be history is in fact heavily based on political necessity and folk legend. A broad picture is the best we can get, as with the brush of an artist. In the case of Lincoln we have a plot similiar in many ways to that of Kennedy. Both Presidents were targets of the political right and both elevated to greatness by the very people who destroyed them.

Of course the point of this is not to rock the boat so that we can all be comforted in the 'safe knowledge' that our cause is always right.

Their sacrifice preserved democracy and freedom but like Jesus they had to be sacrificed to be elevated, by the high priests as an example to the people to whom they both fear and distain.
