In Fears’ “Twain Day by Day” I read the following:

Howard described by Austin as: “…a tall, immaculately dressed Englishman.” Sam as: “…evidently an American, of medium height, rather slouchily dressed in a brown linen suit and a native lauhala straw hat pulled over his eyes. He had a flowing silky brown moustache, rather dark tanned complexion and bushy dark brown hair with bright hazel eyes. 

Didn’t Twain have red hair ("auburn," before it turned silver) and gray eyes?
