The letter reads:
Dear Boss,
I keep on hearing the police have caught me but they wont fix me just yet. I have laughed when they look so clever and talk about being on the right track. That joke about Leather Apron gave me real fits. I am down on whores and I shant quit ripping them till I do get buckled. Grand work the last job was. I gave the lady no time to squeal. How can they catch me now. I love my work and want to start again. You will soon hear of me with my funny little games. I saved some of the proper red stuff in a ginger beer bottle over the last job to write with but it went thick like glue and I cant use it. Red ink is fit enough I hope ha. ha. The next job I do I shall clip the lady's ears off and send to the police officers just for jolly, wouldn't you? Keep this letter back till I do a bit more work, then give it out straight. My knife's so nice and sharp I want to get to work right away if I get a chance. Good Luck. Yours truly,
Jack the Ripper
Don't mind me giving the trade name.
PS Wasn't good enough to post this before I got all the red ink off my hands curse it. No luck yet. They say I'm a doctor now. Ha ha.

Prince Edward was known to frequent the areas where the victims were found, and some believe he may’ve contracted syphilis, which drove him to insanity and led to him committing the murders. This theory is mostly regarded as ludicrous, because there’s a lack of evidence to support it.

Barnett disagreed with Mary Kelly’s life as a prostitute, so some theorize that he committed the first murders to scare Kelly off the streets. Eventually she returned to the street to make ends meet. It's believed that the two had a big fight that got violent, and Barnett moved out. 10 days later, Kelly’s body was found in her apartment. This could explain why the murders ended with Kelly’s death.
