    Maybe

    If I could find a copy of his handwriting style I would compare it to the ripper letters that I have copied of(I have about 90).

    yours truly
    Washington Irving:

    "To a homeless man, who has no spot on this wide world which he can truly call his own, there is a momentary feeling of something like independence and territorial consequence, when, after a weary day's travel, he kicks off his boots, thrusts his feet into slippers, and stretches himself before an inn fire. Let the world without go as it may; let kingdoms rise and fall, so long as he has the wherewithal to pay his bills, he is, for the time being, the very monarch of all he surveys. The arm chair in his throne; the poker his sceptre, and the little parlour of some twelve feet square, his undisputed empire. "

        Right now Im trying to find a good book on cycology(preferabally criminal cycology).
        Hi Corey. You might care to read Criminal Shadows, a book written by the British psychologist, Professor David Canter.

        Regards.

          Thanks

          Garry & Lynn, If that has a copy of his handwriting then I will see if any of the letters match with it. And Garry, thank you for the sugestion, Im thinking about going to collage to major in cycology, for it highly interests me.

          I recently went to a trial of a murderer who killed a local couple these couple of days. It was interesting.

              Stephenson

              Hi Corey. Yes. It says Stephenson. That was his original name.

              This excerpt is from his wedding register.

              It's a fascinating thread and reveals a good deal about the man.

                  Latin and Greek

                  Hello Corey. Above is his signature. Below is his explanation--Latin, but in Greek script. He says, "Natos Roboertus Stephenson." (Born Robert Stephenson.)

                  This is super pedantic and tells us something of his personality.

                    Writing

                    It can always tell a little about us. I just need the text from the posted picture so i can alienate each letter and see if it corrisponds with any in my ripper letters.

                          pedantry

                          Hello Corey. You're welcome.

                          If you can also find a link between pedantry and a psychological disorder, it would be great.

                            I shall look

                            If I DO find a link I will. Right now I am seeing if the "lusk letter" and his signature match. In the From hell letter alot of the words overlap the bottom words. In D'Onstons signature his first name overlaps with whats below it. I also note that in the signature he tends to connect his letters especially his T's And P's.

                              People often make the mistake that someone who could carry out such atrocities as JTR did, MUST be mad.

                              Dennis Nilsen argued at his trial that he must be mad since he so coldly murdered over a dozen men - it didn't hold up then, and it doesn't hold up now. JTR was probably someone in his right mind, sadly.

                                Hello Dark. Well, do we want to say "in his right mind" or "not clinically/legally insane"?

                                Cheers.
