For me, that argues against the letter having been written by the police or by a west end based private detective. The fact that the letter is critical of the PC who let Pizer go and that Eyewitness provided his 'real' name and address, which could be checked out, is further evidence of it being exactly what it appeared to be: a letter of complaint by a concerned local citizen.
The fact that the letter was obviously written by an educated adult who said he was 'coming from school' on a Sunday afternoon, suggests someone involved in the running of a Sunday school. He was walking west along Hanbury Street from the direction of the Trinity Congregational Church which ran a Sunday school. The minister of the church from 1844 - 1890 was one William Tyler whose journey home would have been consistent with the route taken by Eyewitness.
