According to the Maryland Historical Society Magazine, issue 52, Dec.1957, John Surratt never wrote a diary or something substantial on paper re. his flight, capture and trial. He also never discussed this with family or friends. At one time he did write the story of his association with the conspirators at the insistence of his son, William. McClure's Magazine rejected the story, commenting that it was doubtful anyone would be interested in what he had to say. John burned the manuscript afterwards.
