Albert Bachert receives a Ripper letter
A "RIPPER" LETTER.
Mr. Albert Backhert, chairman of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee, received the following letter on Saturday: -
Whitechapel, Oct. 9, 1889. - Dear Boss, - I write you these few lines to let you know, as you are the boss of the Vigilant Society, that the last job wasn't me. You might have known it wasn't me, for I shouldn't have made such a "botch" of it. Never mind, young man. You can keep your lamps open for the 18th October. I am on the job again. There's no blood knocking about, or I'd let you see some. Never mind. Look out, old man. Your a brave sort. You thought you had me nice. Don't forget the 18th. Yours in haste, JACK THE R. - Albert Backhert.
The envelope bears the East London postmark, and was posted on Saturday. The writing corresponds with that in the letters received by Mr. Backhert previously. The "B" and "R" are facsimile of those in the two letters that were sent to Mr. Backhert before the Miller's Court and Castle Alley murders. In this instance, however, the letters "J.R." are on the envelope as well as the address.
