This thread is devoted to discussion about the following article appearing in the North Eastern Daily Gazette. It was received on 2 October 1888 by a man living at 29 Hanbury Street. Anyone know who the man is?
This kind of reminds me of the Yarmouth letter discussed on another thread.
North Eastern Daily Gazette

3 October 1888
ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS COMMUNICATION
The authorities have not yet decided whether they will photograph the letter and post card received by the Central News, and publish copies with a view to discover the writer, who, it will be remembered, professes to be the murderer. It is somewhat curious that a man, who lives at the house, 29 Hanbury street, where Annie Chapman was found murdered, received yesterday morning a copy of Monday's Liverpool Daily Post with the letter and post card referred to marked in blue pencil. The newspaper was wrapped in an ordinary stamped cover, and was addressed to "Jack the Ripper, Hanbury street, London, E.C." The paper was posted in Liverpool on October 1st, and the postmark is numbered 466. On the reverse side of the wrapper was written, "Dear Jack, I send you this paper, and hope you will come to Liverpool as I am an associate of yours. K.T. Please reply to 39 Pitt street." The paper was immediately handed over to the police, with whom it remains.
