I keep on hearing the police have caught me but they wont fix me just yet. I have laughed when they look so clever
and talk about being on the right track. That joke about Leather Apron gave me real fits. I am down on whores and I  ̄ ̄ shant quit ripping them till I do get buckled. Grand work the last job was. I gave the lady no time to squeal. How can
they catch me now. I love my work and want to start again. You will soon hear of me with my funny little games. I
saved some of the proper red stuff in a ginger beer bottle over the last job to write with but it went thick like glue and  ̄ ̄ I cant use it. Red ink is fit enough I hope ha. ha. The next job I do I shall clip the ladys ears off and send to the police  ̄ ̄ ̄ officers just for jolly wouldn't you. Keep this letter back till I do a bit more work, then give it out straight. My knife's so
nice and sharp I want to get to work right away if I get a chance. Good Luck.
Yours truly
Jack the Ripper
Dont mind me giving the trade name
PS Wasnt good enough to post this before I got all the red ink off my hands curse it No luck yet.
