What is the significance of the purple pencil in the book Jack The Ripper Case Closed?
Rumba
The author, Patricia Cornwell, puts significance on the purple pencil because many of the 'fake' letters and notes that the police and press received were written in a special purple pencil used by artists. It is also a well-known fact that Cornwell's suspect, artist Walter R. Sickert loved to use his purple artist's pencil and was never far from it.

Have all the Jack The Ripper letters been examined for further evidence?
I would have thought this to be a forgone conclusion, but it was finally done in 2001. Patricia Cornwell's quest to ID the Ripper resulted in all the remaining Ripper letters that Scotland Yard was still in possession of.(many of the letters and other evidence has been lost or stolen over the 100+ years since the crimes)The results were amazing. Many of the hundreds of letters that were sent to Scotland Yard, the Press, other players involved with the Ripper crimes, turned out to be writtenin artist's paints and pencils. Some of the more recognized letters were thought to be written in blood, but were in fact artist's paint. There were many of them written with a purple artist's pencil. (There were other colors but purple seemed to be the author's favorite color)There were also many little drawings and pictures on a lot of these letters and notes. When most of the letters were dismissed as hoaxes it supports her theory that a well known British artist was the Ripper.
