**Letters To The City & Metropolitan Police Departments**

[Howard Brown]

I'm wondering whether anyone has an idea as to the signature/name of this letter writer.

Also, does anyone intend on using this in an upcoming project ?

"Andy-handy" as in handy with a knife.

I am surprised that this letter does not appear to be in Evans and Skinner's fine Jack the Ripper: Letters from Hell unless I missed it in there somewhere. Where did you get these images from, Howard?

Best regards

I checked the LFH first before posting it as I didn't see it there either.

I can't recall whether this one appeared in the excellent article John Bennett wrote a couple of years ago ( In Ripperologist Magazine ).

That's all for now...

I think "Letters from Hell" concentrated on letters purporting to have come from the killer himself

These letters are like those in the Gale database that Debra Arif mentioned a while back which contain numerous letters from people suggesting solutions to the mystery

Many have interesting comments and some relate that the writer had personally investigated the crimes and visited the crime scenes

Forbes Winslow features in the collection, I recall a telegram from him in there

Note that last letter mentions someone disturbing the congregation at St Pauls

Forbes Winslow's suspect was supposedly a religious maniac who frequented St Paul's cathedral

Neems:
That's right.
Debra Arif was the one who fortunately discovered this cache a few months ( Maybe longer ) ago.

Hi Howard

There is also the dissertation on Casebook, "Responses to the Ripper Murders: Letters to Old Jewry" by L. Perry Curtis Jr., originally published in Ripperologist, April 2002, and available at
