BOSTON EVENING TRANSCRIPT, Nov. 26, 1888 Page 7 has a rather small & inconspicuous item concerning a Jack the Ripper report: "A private person living near Nottingham, Eng., has received a letter signed 'Jack the Ripper's Pal', stating that both the writer of the letter and 'Jack' committed the recent murders in the Whitechapel district. The writer says that 'Jack' is a Bavarian, whom he first met aboard a ship returning from America, and who exercised mesmeric influence."
Eight pages, some minor tears at the blank margins, good condition.
