Do any of you realize that in original manuscript there is a large # 3 at top of title page?
The setup is something what you see below.

You know the old saying, “if you want to hide something, hide it in plain sight.”
No 3, if you look at the text at the above address, runs for three pages including this first page. None of these 3 pages are numbered, but page numbering does start on the 4th page.
On the last page of this 3 page thesis it states, “knowledge of this affair was confined to a very limited circle. In paper #2, it says I have deposited …the following articles belonging jointly to the parties whose names are given in number "3". When decoded using a Beauford (pronounced Buford) cipher the text says that the writer is the last living person with ties to the treasure.
.
Since millions have looked over a period of 125 years, it is reasonable to accept that the numerical codes are a decoy to draw you away from the real secret, which is in the supporting text.
To find a complete explanation of this, go to the Cold Case investigation bulletin board

By substituting in the older original meaning of a word, a hidden story emerges to explain everything.
Using the Beauford cipher or etymology paper # 2 reads as follows, though some of the ideas presented in brackets also come from further decoded text.
Paper #2 DECODED
I have deposited in the county of Bedford, about four miles (4 soldiers = [4 churches = Episcopal, Presbyterian, Lutheran and Catholic]) from Buford's (beauford cipher [reciprocal cipher]), in an excavation (hollow) or vault (strengthen room for valuables), six feet below the surface of the ground (what is touched in passing over [roof]), the following articles, belonging jointly to the parties whose names given in NUMBER "3," herewith: The first deposit consisted of one thousand and fourteen pounds of gold, and three thousand eight hundred and twelve pounds of silver, deposited November, 1819 (born Nov 1819 [birth date of UGRR leader William Still -recognized Father of the UGRR]). The second was made December, 1821, (born Dec 1821 [birth date of UGRR conductor Harriet Tubman])* and consisted of nineteen hundred and seven pounds of gold, and twelve hundred and eighty-eight pounds of silver; also jewels, obtained in St. Louis in exchange for silver to save transportation, and valued at $13,000. The above is securely packed in iron pots, with iron covers (originally stored in cast iron caskets in underground crypt until they rusted out, then transferred to ironstone pots with tops; a strong porcelain). The vault is roughly lined with stone, and the vessels rest on solid stone, and are covered with others. Paper number "1" describes the exact locality of the vault so that no difficulty will be had in finding it. [/li][li]
Writing in the early 1800’s came with different English then what we use today. To imply a possession or ownership of an object, often meant an adding a S to the word. So MORRISS implies that Mr. Morris had something in his possession. Today we would use an apostrophe,
There was a real Mr. Morris that dealt with the DOI:
5. Robert Morris’s (1734-1806) was real. He was one of our founding fathers. He signed 3 of the 4 great State Papers that helped form the US:
. (1) Continental Association 1774
Paper # (2) Declaration of Independence 1776
. (3) Articles of Confederation 1777
. (4) United States Constitution 1787
Note that the SECOND STATE PAPER, the DEC OF INDEPENDENCE = PAPER #2.
In the hidden text, the treasure was hidden twice. First it was buried underneath a church in Bedford, after the church was built. A crypt and tunnel were dug out and Levi Coffin, of the Underground Railroad (UGRR) paid for it to hold escaped slaves until they could properly join the railroad. All the money to finance the set up was kept in lead coffins, that when full of coins, weighed about 900 lbs a piece. The hidden text describes the event in detail, which you can read below. (page 8 in booklet)
12) Writer recalls his [church] anxious (restless) hours, his [church] midnight (middle of night) vigils (watches), his [church] toil (struggles), his [church] hopes (base word “hoop” > to bend) and disappointments (unfulfilling), all consequent (resultant) upon this promise (undertake), he [church] can only conclude (finish off) legacy ([leg…acy = ([leg = {hedgehog > splined- cage}]: piecework support) of Morriss (black> darkness) was not as designed (calculated), a blessing (church) in disguise (concealing outfit):
Writer recalls hard work done by Church people during night, posting watchmen as they un-fill earth to penetrate darkness under cover of church & build a rounded arch bricked tunnel at its end [to take above stress of dirt]
13) Having assumed (unspecified) responsibilities (errands) and consented (sanctioned) to requirements (necessities) of Mr. Morriss, I. [church] determined (unwavering) to devote (allocate) time to accomplishment (execution) of task (tax > censure) as could be consistently (again and
again) spared (secured) from other duties (fare > traveler) with this purpose in view :
Church people furnish food, etc for workers. Unnoticed, hidden out of sight, people take turns standing in lot to secure it from curious
Even after you read the hidden text, you might not be able to understand where the treasure was hidden the second time. The only way you will find this out is if you go to the end the last page published under Cold Case Investigation and read what it says there. (Last attachment)
