Text
55, Flower and Dean St.,
Whitechapel.
Get your type ready my boys. I'll give you a job for your paper. I'm going to visit Hackney on Saturday night. I'll have a corpse in the Churchyard for the parson Sunday morning. Glorious fun. 14 more to make the twenty. Good luck to
JACK THE RIPPER.
Notes
Threatened to murder a girl in the Hackney Churchyard on Saturday night (October 6 presumably). Drawing of a knife and crossbones.
55 Flower and Dean Street was the lodging house (Cooney's) where Catherine Eddowes lodged on-and-off for several years.
