  • why are the "Dear Boss" letter and "Saucy Jack" postcard given any notice at all?

    Aside from giving the killer the infamous nickname, what's the point? why are these 2 writings even considered in the same light as the "From Hell" letter?


    Tom Bulling wrote the "Dear Boss" letter and "Saucy Jack" postcard. there is no doubt whatsoever about that fact. one does not have to be a handwriting expert to see this. In his letter to Williamson on Oct 5, 1888 where he transcribed the "third Dear Boss letter", he did not even attempt to disguise his own handwriting from the "Jack the Ripper" handwriting.

    He was either the stupidest or most arrogant person in London at that time. so the bigger question is.....why was he not arrested and convicted for this? because his hoax opened the floodgates for hundreds of other hoax letters.

    Great Question

    If this guy is the author of these two pieces of writing, then how is he not arrested as the ripper? He should have been toast if anything happened to a womans ears, right?
    I confess that altruistic and cynically selfish talk seem to me about equally unreal. With all humility, I think 'whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might,' infinitely more important than the vain attempt to love one's neighbour as one's self. If you want to hit a bird on the wing you must have all your will in focus, you must not be thinking about yourself, and equally, you must not be thinking about your neighbour; you must be living with your eye on that bird. Every achievement is a bird on the wing.
