I'm starting to wonder if my mind was playing tricks on me here.
Before I bought Stewart Evans and Keith Skinner's [i]Jack the Ripper: Letters from Hell[/i], I browsed through it at the local Barnes and Noble. I distinctly remember coming across some letter or telegram or something, that had the name "Thomas Tittot" as either an addressee, or on a return address, or something like that. Possibly crossed out, but something that wouldn't necessarily jump out at you at any rate, so not like a signature at the bottom or anything.
Of course the problem is after I bought the book and got it home, I can't for the life of me find mention of that name anywhere. I've read the book, looked through the texts of the letters in the back and examined all the photos like three or four times. I've looked for things that I might have somehow confused myself into seeing that name instead of what was actually there. I emailed Stewart about it, and he said it didn't sound familiar. I'm running out of ideas here.
At this point the only things that I can think of are that I'm somehow missing it this time through or that maybe I somehow get my memory really confused and it was really in some other Ripper book I browsed through that day (the new Diary book and some others I can't recall). Or maybe I'm hallucinating or something.
I know it's kind of obscure and not much to go on, but does anyone know of some Ripper-related letter or communication like this?
Thanks in advance for any help...

Hey Dan,
Perhaps this was some sort of vision you had. Could "Thomas Tittot" be the Ripper? If you can't find it in the other books, than that's pretty weird. I Googled it, like I'm sure you've done, but nothing came up.
Strange.
P.S.-not to get off subject, but since you are here, did you by any chance write this article?

I distinctly remember thinking "I wanted it before, but I definitely need to buy this book" when I saw it, so I don't know how I could be thinking of another book. I don't know.
Thomas (or Tom) Tittot definitely isn't the killer, but (if it really existed as something more than a hallucination on my part) it shows a link between some ot the other Ripper commnications, by theme at least if not by author.
And, yup, as a matter of fact, that Bloody Mary article you linked to is mine (along with the whole mythology.com site), and I've researched lots more information since I wrote that. I'm working (slowly) on making it into a full book. If I can't get this Tittot thing figured out I might do a short bit for the October issue of Ripper Notes on the alleged links between the Bloody Mary game and the Ripper case.

Dan,
I had a look it doesn't appear to be in Cornwall so cross that one off the list!
