Lafayette Mulligan

Lafayette Mulligan was the name under which several hoaxes were perpetrated in Boston in the 1930s. In one such incident, a letter from "Mulligan"—​​purportedly writing on behalf of mayor James Michael Curley—​​invited Edward, Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) to come to Boston as Curley's guest.[1]
