CHAPTER Ten

Broken Letters

Scotland Yard received several other letters over the next few days. Holmes, Inspector Greg, Inspector Smith, and Dr. Watson sat down, going over each one with keen eyes.

The first letter accompanied a mysterious cardboard box. The box contained a half of a human kidney, which later was discovered by the medical records of the coroner to be that of Catherine Eddowes. The letter was dubbed the “from hell” letter and read:

From hell.

Mr. Holmes

Sor

I send you half the kidne I took from one woman and prasarved it for you tother piece I fried and ate it was very nise. I may send you the bloddy knif that took it out if you only wate a whil longer.

Signed

Catch me when you can Mishter Holmes

The appalling spelling set it apart from the other letter they had received—either the sender was not literate or wanted to be perceived that way. But, Holmes thought, why would the writing style change so drastically from the first letter? Is the murderer just toying with us?

The next letter was intended for the two men, Israel Schwartz and Joseph Lawende, who gave descriptions of the Ripper and were in the immediate vicinity of the killings around the time they happened. This letter was sent to the daily newspaper, which printed it as follows:

You though your-self very clever I reckon when you informed the police. But you made a mistake if you though I dident see you. Now I known you know me and I see your little game, and I mean to finish you and send your ears to your wife if you show this to the police or help them if you do I will finish you. It no use your trying to get out of my way. Because I have you when you don’t expect it and I keep my word as you soon see and rip you up.

Yours truly Jack the Ripper

Still, another letter:

Beware I shall be at work on the 1st and 2nd inst. (this means 1st and 2nd of the month of October) in the Minories at 12 midnight and I give the authorities a good chance but there is never a policeman near when I am at work.

Yours Jack the Ripper

Another letter was sent to the coroner and referred to the kidney sent with the letter from hell.

Old box you was rite it was the left kidney I was goin to hoperate agin close to you ospitle just as I was going to fror mi nife along of er bloomin throte them cusses of coppers spoilt the game but I guess I wil be on the jobn soon and will send you another but of innerds.

Jack the Ripper

O have you seen the delve with his mikerscope and scalpel a-lookin at a kidney with a slide cocked up.

Even a poem was sent. The police were not sure if it was a hoax.

Eight little whores, with no hope of heaven.

Gladstone may save one, then there’ll be seven,

Seven little whores beggin for a shilling.

One stays in Henage Court, then there’s a killin.
