Interesting. But which JtR letters were used for analylsis ? We cannot be sure if any of them are genuine !
"One expert, recommended by the British Library, concluded both were written by the "same hand," while a computer program used by the Postal Service and Department of Justice stated it was a 97.95 per cent match.'
Perhaps he coined some of these missives himself while on holiday in London in the 1880s as so many did , for whatever reason, probably entertainment
For myself, I believe the "from hell" letter to be genuine, and maybe the saucy post card.
