Description

Jack the Ripper suspect Albert Victor: “I can assure you it will be my endeavor ever to do credit to the title the Queen has been pleased to confer upon me”

In recent times the Duke of Clarence and Avondale has been the center of rumors that he committed, or was responsible for, the Jack the Ripper murders in 1888. However, these theories have been comprehensively dismissed by reputable historians, who note, among other factors, that the Prince was in Scotland at the time of several of the murders. ALS signed “Edward,” one page both sides, 4 x 6.25, personal letterhead, June 29, 1890. Letter of thanks to a friend. In full, “So many thanks for your kind letter congratulating me on the new honor I have so lately received. I can assure you it will be my endeavor ever to do credit to the title the Queen has been pleased to confer upon me. Thanking you again for your kind wishes.” In fine condition. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
