Morphy v The French (part four)

ACCORDING to Johann Löwenthal in Morphy's Games Of Chess, the following was part of a blindfold simul given in London in 1859 against eight opponents, "including, as is well known, the most-talented players of the old London Chess Club."
Morphy - George Walker*
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 exd5 4.Nf3 Bd6 5.Bd3 Nf6 6.0-0 0-0 7.Nc3 Bg4
Morphy has played his normal first seven moves. Walker's 7...Bg4 was already well-known in 1859, and remains the most-popular reply today along with 7...c6 (see parts two and six of this series for examples of the latter move).
8.h3
8.Nb5!? can be parried by 8...Be7 9.Bf4 Na6, although Komodo9 and Stockfish10 are happy with 8...Nc6!? 9.Nxd6 Qxd6, presumably because Black's lead in development is deemed sufficient compensation for the bishop-pair.
8...Be6?!
Maintaining the pin with 8...Bh5 is overwhelmingly more popular, although in practice White has scored very well with Steinitz's 9.g4!?
9.Be3 Nc6 10.Qd2 Qd7 11.Bf4
Löwenthal: "The best move. An examination of the position will prove that Black meditated the capture of h3 with the sacrifice of the bishop, which might have caused White some trouble. This step, however, on Mr Morphy's part, at once frustrates any such design."
11...Rfe8 12.Rae1 Rad8 13.Ne5
Löwenthal: "A fine move, acquiring a good attacking position."
13...Qc8?!
Löwenthal: "Taking the knight with either bishop or knight would have been exactly what his adversary desired."
But considering that Black feels obliged to take the knight next move anyway, it would probably have been a lesser evil to capture now.
14.Bb5
Löwenthal: "All this is admirably played, and considering that White is playing blindfold against such an able opponent, is quite marvellous."
14...Bxe5

How would you recapture?

15.Bxe5?!
The engines much prefer White after 15.dxe5 Ne4 16.Nxe4 dxe4 17.Qc3.
15...Nxe5
Löwenthal: "Selecting the proper course of play, for 15...Bd7 would have cramped the game still further; and if 15...Rd6, then 16.f4 would have given White an excellent game."
Actually, 15...Bd7?? loses instantly to 16.Bxf6 gxf6 17.Nxd5. And if 15...Rd6?, then the simple 16.Bxd6 is strong (but so is 16.f4).
It may well be Löwenthal meant 15...Nd7 rather than 15...Bd7. The move is described in his book as "B. to Q's 2nd," and could be a printing error.
16.dxe5 Ne4 17.Nxe4 dxe4 18.Qf4 c6
Finally taking his king's rook off prise, as grandmaster Nigel Davies is fond of saying. The game was drawn eight moves later.
*Walker was a prolific, for his time, chess author, and an organiser of the first international tournament, London 1851.
