Corrected entry: Johnny Depp's character writes Heather Graham's character a letter - a working class 1890s prostitute would not have been able to read.

Corrected entry: Throughout the whole film, Mary (the redhead) always looks much cleaner and better groomed than all of her friends, who all look dirty, unkempt, and haggard. She also has a nicer dress. Where does she bathe, brush her hair, and clean her dress on a regular basis? She should share that information with her friends...
Correction: At least, in real life also, Mary Kelly was the only one of the sorry lot who had her own one room apartment, in which she "worked" and was eventually killed. Not to mention that she was by far the youngest and the prettiest, so she might have gotten by a bit better than the others.

Correction: Still, as we know nothing about Mary Kelly's past, she very well might be the one prostitute who can.

Literacy was widespread in 1880's England. Prostitutes were ordinary women who fell on hard times. There's no reason why she wouldn't be able to read.
