I don't have my copy of Stewart P. Evans and Keith Skinner's JtR Letters from Hell with me but I should think there almost certainly were JtR letters sent from Belfast. Certainly there were letters sent from Dublin, and probably elsewhere in Ireland. Speaking to Stewart today, he thought there was a link between Parnell and the Fenians involved in the Phoenix Park murders.
Anyone for a talk on the similarity of the knives used in those 1884 political crimes and the Ripper murders and the whole idea of a Irish nationalist conspiracy to commit the Whitechapel crimes to shame the British government?
Of course there's Alan Sharp's London Correspondence: Jack the Ripper and the Irish Press.
The idea of W. T. Stead going down on the Belfast-built Titanic could be the basis of a talk on Stead and White Slavery.
It's perhaps not well known that Stead's accusation that Jews were to blame for prostitution in the East End led in 1885 to enlightened Anglo-Jews such as Constance Rothschild, Lady Battersea (1843-1931) forming the Jewish Association for the Protection of Girls and Women (JAPGW).
The JAPWG was the liberal Jewish establishment's response to Stead's anti-White Slavery campaign and was created to fight those elements who exploited recently arrived Eastern European females and forced them into prostitution or sent them on to brothels in North and South America. This is something I cover in my upcoming book, A to Z of Jack the Ripper and the Jews: Aarons to Zverieff.
