im not sure if this has been mentioned before as im a new member but it strikes me as that if the dear boss saucy jacky mr lusk (kinde)and from hell letters are real the first two seem to have relitively normal hand writing but the hand writing degrades as you continue through the letters as does the spelling any idea why this is? (if this as been mentioned before please feel free to delete this post but could you direct me to the other on this subject)

What you have to decide is which letters you're going to say are real. As I've looked at pictures of the original documents and read the letterI feel that the Dear Boss, Saucy Jack, and the letter sent on the sixth of October are from the killer the tone, writing, and feel of the letter are alike.

The Lusk and From Hell letters are the same. A letter was sent "From Hell" to Lusk does't have the same feel to it. Also there's the fact that Lusk himself thought that someone was after him and a man asked for Lusks address a day or two before he got the letter. From what I've read on the case and about the crime sceens Jack would have known where Lusk lived and most likly did, so I don't give the Lusk letter much credit.

As far as other letters they were more than likly copycats tring to copy one of the other letters.
