I have yet to find the reference to the letter and really won't have time to look. However, when you read the testimonies from others, there is no mention of red; in fact, one uses the word "drab."

I think we can dismiss this discussion over the jacket and just accept that the photo of Surratt in the current book is mislabeled.
