Not necissarily. It could be that Jack was HIMSELF a member of the whitechapel viligence commity. Sounds good doesnt it, joining a group trying to find someone who is in the commitie, a man seaching for himself. The perfect coverup. Maybe thats the reason lusk didnt hand it in immediatly, because he may have reconised the handwriting, or maybe the recipiant knew lusk. Who knows, that question, I fear, will probally be never answered.
And I am a firm believer in the lusk letter, it,in my opinion, is 100% genuine. I belive the "Majority opinion" is a bunch of idiocracy. I dont jump the bandwagon.

Why send the Kidney to Lusk instead of the police

That suggests that JtR lived in the City area...

Hello Brad. The majority opinion now leans toward accounting ALL Ripper letters as fake. Rather destroys the myth of Jack, doesn't it?

The best.

"Insane Evil." Hmmm, can those two things both be true at the same time? Isn't that difference what decides whether someone gets confined to a hospital or a prison?

The Lusk package though- Personally, I believe it was Catherine Eddowe's kidney and was from the Ripper. I just wish its depiction in the movies had ever been done accurately instead of the 1988 miniseries turning Lusk from a respectable building contractor into a torch-waving rabble-rousing anarchist and a Ripper suspect himself.

Interesting that the Lusk letter was not sighned Jack the Ripper. If it is a genuine Ripper letter then the other letters that were sighned Jack the Ripper may have been fake.

INSANE EVIL

[JTRSickert]

TOday, 121 years ago, Mr. George Lusk of the Mile End Vigilance Committee received a disturbing package containing a kidney and vile letter...and the world of Ripperology has never been the same. Even today, genuine or fake, that package has remained one of the most debatable aspects of the case today and solidified Lusk's conenction to the case in nearly every book written about Jack the Ripper.
