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 trulyJack the RipperDont mind me giving the trade name.

The Time G Killings started April 13, 1888 and didn’t end until February 13th, G They took place in the Whitechapel area in England.

The Victims G Mary Ann Nichols G Annie Chapman G Elizabeth Stride G Catherine Eddowes G Mary Jane Kelly G Mary Ann Nichols G Annie Chapman G Elizabeth Stride G Catherine Eddowes G Mary Jane Kelly

No man,No trial G Because nobody found out who actually committed the murders, there was not conviction therefore no trial.
