Hidden away in the vast content at Fold3.com is a small file of "Anonymous threatening letters to President Johnson." The majority of them refer to the death sentences passed on the Lincoln assassins. Some are very long and rambling. Others are short and ... well "sweet" doesn't quite fit:

Don't know if that's rightly termed "anonymous," all they had to do is go to Baltimore and look up Mr. Venger!

Others are signed, but the writer perhaps harder to track down:
