Jack's writing?

Douglas also mentions that sending it to George Lusk and not the Central News Agency shows that the killer had a very localised view of the world, that Whitechapel was his entire universe.

Hi Mort,
as far as I know, George Lusk was living in Mile End.

Amitiés,
David

Personally, I've never believed that this letter came from Jack himself. I think the first Boss one could have been from Jack, but the From Hell one I've always doubted. It barely even shares the same tone as Boss and it's illiterate to the point of being nearly ridiculous. And the way in which it is written seems to me to just cry out "HOAX!". It's worded the way someone would word a joke.
Anyway - what do you think?
Did I point out it's not even signed from Jack? It's signed "Catch me if you can".

I've always been under the impression that Jack lived in the Whitechapel district. In proximity to where all of the victims were found. The from hell letter is most likely to be the true letter (If Jack even wrote a letter) because of the fact that it contained a human kidney.

I believe that Jack wasn't very well educated at all and that his spelling wouldn't have been the best in the area at the time. I am a lot more inclined to believe from hell is the real deal whilst dr boss is a hoax.

That's an interesting point of view. I've never heard that before but thankyou for pointing it out for me. I'll look it up.

This point is elaborated by John Douglas who believes that the "Dear Boss" letters are not written by the killer, and not signing the Fom Hell letter "Jack the Ripper" was a way to reclaim his own murders after somebody else had picked his media monicker for him.
