I'm searching for an image of the 14th October 1896 letter. If anyone knows whereabouts to find this missive on the web, point me in the right direction, please.
The 14 Oct 1896 Hoax Letter
This letter was written in red ink and said:
Dear Boss,
You will be surprised to
find that this comes from yours
as of old Jack-the Ripper. Ha Ha
If my old friend Mr. Warren is dead
you can read it. you might
remember me if you try and
think a little Ha Ha. The last job
was a bad one and no mistake nearly
buckled, and meant it to
be best of the lot & what curse it,
Ha Ha Im alive yet and you'll
soon find it out. I mean to go
on again when I get the chance
wont it be nice dear old Boss to
have the good old times once
again. you never caught me
and you never will. Ha Ha
You police are a smart lot, the lot
of you could nt catch one man
Where have I been Dear Boss
you d like to know. abroad, if
you would like to know, and
just come back, ready to go on
with my work and stop when
you catch me. Well good bye
Boss wish me luck. Winters coming
"The Jewes are people that are
blamed for nothing" Ha Ha

Yours truly
Jack the Ripper
According to my graphologist chum, three of the published Ripper letters are by the same hand ...
