Jekyll and Hyde ch. 5-8

I had found it interesting that the letter that "Hyde" wrote to Jekyll saying he had left town is being blamed upon Dr. Jekyll. It all doesn't seem to make sense why he would write a letter about Hyde leaving and not to worry, but it also raises a lot of questions as well. Based upon this discovery I believe that Jekyll and Hyde are in on some type of evil business together. During chapters six and seven Jekyll seemed to be back to his old ways, just to play everything off as if nothing is going on, which was smart. Also, Jekyll could also be playing the part as becoming sick and dying based upon his disappearance so Hyde would not get all of the blame. Chapter eight was rather terrifying but almost predictable at this point. the difficult part was trying to figure out if Hyde really did kill Jekyll or not. In my opinion, I do not believe that Hyde killed Jekyll because of their past relationships. They had genuinely cared for each other and it wouldn't make sense for people with that type of a relationship kill one another. I do not pass off Dr. Jekyll as being the ditzy type because he seems to know what he is doing if I am reading the story correctly.
