Hi,

Can anyone assist me please? Does anybody know what JtR meant when he said " keep this letter back till I get to work" in the Dear Boss letter. Then he backs this up by saying " thanks for keeping the last letter back till I got to work" on the Saucy Jack postcard. I am puzzled by this. Can someone tell me exactly what this means?
Thanking you - Stuart
