"You thought 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.
