Many thanks to all who inspired me to write this conclusion: Robert Ward, Ron Gervais, Charlie & David Mason, Robert Lewxian, Roy Dallas, Joe K. Crump, and Jim Gillogly.

The following letter summarizes a "to date" conclusion to the Beale mystery. It was a big game that could very well turn out to be a very grand treasure.

*************

Hello Ron,

Please accept my apology for taking so long to respond back to you; it's taken me a few days to comprehend Page 27 and prepare what I want to write to you. Thank-you for your last letter; it helped me understand Page 27 and the Lewxian extensions. This will be a long letter.

Concerning the words, partial words and transposed words identified by Lewxian in cryptogram C1, I feel the following words (to name a few of them): MORAL and BOWL to have been injected typeset by Sherman and SAT, HOT, TAP, FOE, HRIST, and TRASNIT to have likely been prior used typeset. The problem I'm having is that whether Sherman threw in random letters or prior typeset words, we still have, essentially, gibberish plaintext. Want of any other concept for decryption in C1, what we have is a few words, no real plaintext, no message, certainly no treasure missive, a hoax--right? Wrong!!

If Sherman did what I'm about to explain (for Edgar Allan Poe via Rosalie or "Muddy" at Charles W. Button's direction), then he was, in my opinion, a very skilled cryptographer or he had some help! What I'm about to explain is partially written in "National (Beale) Treasure....At Red Knee," the rest is new (updated) information only you know. I don't know anyone else as intelligent and seasoned as you when it comes to the Beale Papers investigation. My hope is to be able to adjust you "Beale Treasure Game Analysis" and make the list on Page 14 as a "special acknowledgment".

To begin, lets look at C1 and its 520 numerals. Let's note that the C1 diagram (by Lewxian) in your "Beale Treasure Game Analysis" and Gillogly's (first letter) plaintext diagram in his article "The Beale Cipher: A Dissenting Opinion"......well, they both match each other.

Rosalie (or perhaps Muddy), in need of money, unable to access a trove of gold as Edgar was also unable to access, sold the gold secret and Poe's uncompleted "Grand Diddle," concerning this gold secret, to Charles W. Button. If Poe did not create C1 as I concede that Sherman did create it, Button received (at least) information concerning the phrase "ERE FEN DUE RED KNEE," as he would have had to have received some missive to lead the future cryptanalyst to Poe's tale "The Gold Bug" which hides a missive about a mansion that contains wealth. Button enlists Sherman to 1) complete the Beale story, 2) create the cryptograms, 3) make the story appear to have be written by Poe himself so to be published by [Poe?] posthumously (this was likely requested by Rosalie or Muddy). Sherman creates C2 first indicating at its end that "paper number one (C1) describes the exact locality of the vault, so that no difficultly will be had in finding it" (Dr. Hammer, as we know, determined that "the first document (C1) was worth reading (decrypting"). Sherman creates C2 using the Original pamphlet Declaration Of Independence (ODOI) with its counting errors; C2 is created with 23 errors in counting. Sherman must now create C1 with a message to lead one to "The Gold Bug" as treasure in the Virginia hills is a ruse. He's used the ODOI, he's tired of encrypting C2, he's making mistakes. What did he do?

END PART ONE.....

[legrand]

BEGIN PART TWO......


Sherman would encrypt "ERE FEN DUE RED KNEE" in C1 as quickly as he could with some fun. He would add a couple of Edgar Allan Poe "signatures" in C1 (an elsewhere) as well. He would drop some spurious words or transposed words in the cryptogram from prior typeset. How did Sherman proceed?

One will note that no spurious words or Gillogly string exist in the (first letter) initial 16 numerals (plaintext) of C1. All such items exist AFTER the first 16 letters. The reason for this is that after the first 16 letters (ie., 17-520), all selections are first letter of the ODOI. The first 16 numerals of C1 should be reflective of the LAST letter of the ODOI words. C1 is a DUEL FUNCTION CRYPTOGRAM. Ron, please see your Page 26, Joe K. Crump's website that explains my decryption of "ERE FEN DUE RED KNEE". This site should be sufficient explanation of the decryption and will free me of writing it here again.

Sherman's job was almost done, even with the couple of mistakes he made in his encoding of "ERE FEN DUE RED KNEE". The future cryptanalyst is essentially told to "ere" (dig) "fen" (unusual spot) "due" (at exactly) "red knee" (the tarantula). It say's go to somewhere that has a tarantula (Poe's tale "The Gold Bug") and find what's hidden!!

Now look at cryptogram C1 numeral position #84; you'll see a string of 13 numbers: 25, 485, 18, 436, 65, 84, 200, 283, 118, 320, 138, 36, and 416. Gillogly and Lewxian diagrams show there (first letters) to be AABBCCACDDEAO using a corrected copy of the DOI. But using the ODOI, as we should to decrypt, the letters become (amazingly) AABBCCCCDDEAO. Now AABBCCCCDD is an attention grabber as intended by Sherman. Can EAO be EAP-- why, yes. The "O" is number 416 in C1. If the 6 is moved to the front to make 641, in the ODOI 641 is "P" (simple inversion or purposeful mistake or ordinary mistake?). Therefore, Edgar Allan Poe has signed this cryptogram C1 by the hand of Sherman. Mistake or purposeful transposition?!!

Once again, in the Gillogly string, there is a Poe signature -- the very reason the Gillogly string exists in C1 in the first place -- to hide Poe's signature. Don't forget, we also have David and Charlie Mason's Poe signatures that (were?) explained in your Page 26.

The Gillogly string of 20 letters is simple an attention grabber (as was position #84) to hide a Poe signature. Using, of course, the ODOI, Gillogly's string looks slightly different: ABCDEFGHIIJKLMMNOOPP (this reflects the second "H" to be an "O," another one of those common errors by Sherman). The letter string ended with "P" which is rather obvious as to why. The full explanation to this Poe signature reposes in my book www.rosedogbookstore.com/nabtrredkn.html

It's important to remember, Sherman, for good reason and because he didn't want to use another key document, used the ODOI in C1 both FIRST letter of the word and LAST letter of the word. THE CRYPTOGRAM IS DUAL FUNCTION WHICH MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT. I decrypted this cryptogram because I look at things from different angles. Sherman has a short message to encrypt and the rest of the numerals (in C1 and C3) spell out gibberish plaintext and Gillogly and Lewxian fun.

Please read my book Ron and let's figure out where to go now with this suspected treasure in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Concord, Massachusetts. Yes, two locations! This national treasure is bigger than Bedford County Virginia which is a microcosm to a larger spanning enigma. The key steganographic message to the second trove is the famous line written in Concord: "the shot heard round the world". Ralph Waldo Emerson created this treasure hunt with the help of Edgar Allan Poe.

Read the book....it'll be well worth the candle.

Sincerely and respectfully,

Kenneth Andrew Bauman

Yo! ;D When U find it in PA & MA, we'll rejoice... PLEASE "post"
PICTURES of what ya find... THANKS!

[kydave]

Ha! I can't even figure out what "Lewxian" means! Most of this page is over my head! Ain't got anuff education!

[Rebel KGC]

HA! HA! HA!

Goldslinger

In your DOI ODDITY you are very clever and look outside the box from a different angle. I take it you believe there is gold hidden in the hills of Virginia? There is nothing hidden in the hills of Virginia.

I, too, looked at a mystery from a different angle. I found a message hidden in C1 encrypted backwards. If you haven't looked at my work, please do and let's discuss this.

[legrand]

I believe that I have been mistaken to say that there is no treasure hidden in the Virginia hills.

Roy Dallas, who I trust as a Beale investigator, has a solution I am now letting all in on. The Beale Papers likely is a dual function treasure hunt. It does contain "ERE FEN DUE RED KNEE" which leads to a treasure suspected in Philadelphia. Work continues on that effort. The Beale Papers also hides, according to Roy Dallas, a lead to a CSA treasure. It is entirely possible that two treasures exist for which the Beale Papers lead to. This is an exciting development. Roy Dallas is encouraging contacts in the Virginia area for furtherance of this venture.

Roy Dallas' last update is April 10, 2008. I anxiously await a new development in his research.

The validation issue at Mount Pleasant Mansion in Philadelphia is completed. A synopsis exists that will fully advise the details of this validation.

Ken, Roy said the CSA Gold, he is looking for in NOT in Bedford County, Va. It MAY be the one in Danville, Va., DUNNO...
AND! He lives 1,300 miles from Richmond, Va. ;D

[legrand]

The Beale Papers appears to house cryptic messages for two separate treasures. Roy Dallas seems to be moving closer to success at:

www.thebealekey.com

The treasure I am working has gained legal assistance and moving nicely. Major development for me.....Jacobite gold lost in Scotland, 1746, controlled by Cluny MacPherson. See google: lost loch arkaig treasure wikipedia.

Hey folks, Cluny MacPherson was first cousin to Captain John MacPherson who built the mansion in Philadelphia of my research.

Getting closer....purchase my book and validation synopsis and I'll be in touch.

Stay tuned to Roy Dallas and Philadelphia.

Louis d'or.

[Rebel KGC]

;D STARBUCKS! So you see, NEITHER one of 'em has to do with the BEALE/BEALL TREASURE; ROY - CSA GOLD (NOT... in Bedford County, Va.) & YOU... the SCOTTISH treasure in "PHILLY".
Just da same... keep us posted. "Ere fen due red knee" DOES sound Scottish; sorta like Irish GAELIC... DUNNO. (Sunny out...).

[beale]

That's what don't make any sense to me either, Rebel. How can they claim that the decipherment of the Beall Codes lead to two different treasures in two different locations and neither treasure has anything to do with TJB?

[Rebel KGC]

;D HA! ONLY time will time, beale...

[legrand]

Beale:

In short, I'm afraid that the Beale Papers mystery story is just a fable or a house to hide or hold a secret or secrets. In other words TJB is not important. The treasure as it is described in the story is not important. I know this is hard to hear. What's important is that the creator of the Beale Papers story intended to hide what I think are two messages of map to treasure. One of those maps Roy Dallas is working on and he feels there is, indeed, a treasure. It just may not be in Bedford County. My treasure map within the Beale Papers leads me, by cryptography, to Poe writing and then to the mansion in Philadelphia. This is explained in full in my book "National (Beale) Treasure....At Red Knee". What's hidden in the Beale Papers must be discovered through forms of cryptography. My form is standard cryptography in C1. Roy Dallas uses a form of number cryptography that I do not fully understand.....I'm just waiting for updates on his research....we communicate fairly frequently. As Roy Dallas said, the Beale Papers may prove to be one the best, if not the greatest, treasure ciphers this country or the world has ever known. Hope this helps. Read my book.

You have done a great deal of work in identifying TJB. This is good, but what if it is not the right direction? I think Roy Dallas and I are very near conclusion to the mystery. Are you prepared to change boats?

Remember, my treasure in the mansion was set in place in 1761. What is in there was deposited by that date. It could very well contain French privateered gold and the Jacobite Gold of the lost Loch Arkaig Treasure. The gold in this mansion then became a "gold secret" that made whoever knew very powerful to control the secret. Poe knew of it and then the Beale Papers were born; Poe must have known about the "Roy Dallas" cache as well. Both were born into the Beale Papers as we know them.
