Exactly! Only the author "had access" to those alleged original letters.....why do you suppose he is the only source of them? On top of this, we already know beyond shadow of a doubt that the details offered in those letters only serve to establish that the source of those letters had "no first hand knowledge of hard rock mining or the refining process" as it actually was back in the detailed period of 1817-1822, this meaning that the author of those letters was only assuming that the process was the same as it was in the 1880's, which it wasn't. Conclusion, and rock solid fact, the author of those letters was relying on information and conditions as he assumed them to be in the 1880's and "not as they were in the 1820's", so very clearly those letters were penned many-many years after the 1820's, so they are phony. PERIOD!
Not just that. As I said the writer of C1, C2 and C3 used a DOI printed in an 1878 History Book to encrypt them. If you do a decipherment of C2 as the author so proudly claims he found by accident you will find out he made a lot of mistakes in the encryption and in the decipherment of the encrypted C2. There are 75 ciphers above 480 and yet on those 75 the encrypted hit all 75 give or take one cipher count instead of the cipher code of ten in his mistake he made numbering the DOI he used for the decipherment. There is no way C1, C2 nor C3 could have been encrypted by using a DOI printed in 1878 and with the miscount of ten at the 480 count unless the author and the encrypter were one and the same. A story made up.
Like I have stated many times over the years here...
I think this... like all treasure "tales" / "legends"... STEM from...
Some form of truth.
This one has got to be the most twisted and blurred / obscured of all of em.
You seem to have forgotten that Jean Laf has declared the same...that must create a "grand fret".What's interesting is that no one has a solution except Legrand...

Probably why Legrand only talks about solving the Beale ciphers, NO show, ALL TELL.... I already proved to you and everyone that Mr. Cole's decipherment is not correct. If I could see Jean Laf's we could prove it not correct also.
One other mistake the author made in deciphering C2. When he wrote down his decipherment and got it ready to print. You know after years of trying to decipher these codes the author would have known word for word and letter for letter what he or she deciphered but when the author had the decipherment wrote down probably hundreds of times, he or she made a huge blunder by saying the treasure consisted of "thousands" of pounds of treasure when the true decipherment clearly states "hundreds" of pounds. I know both say the same thing but to be true to his years of deciphering he should have known the decipherment said "hundreds" of pounds of treasure and not "thousands" of pounds of treasure. With all of these obvious mistakes even in the Beale Papers itself makes the story as though not being true but made up to make a fast buck.
OR... perhaps its like the ole "fish story"...
"I caught one THIS big <--->" ...
After awhile... the story has become... "I caught one this big <-------------------------------> "
Factual research will reveal that there is no possible way that author would have known an estimated value of the treasure/weights unless he was talking about refined gold & silver, to which this research will reveal that there was no process for refining this gold and silver from the described area in the 1820's. Mining companies of this period suffered HUGE losses in material due to there being no efficient refining process, these losses in material sometimes being as high as 70% depending on the exact makeup of the matrix. This is all documented, it's all fact. This same research will also reveal that there is no possible way that 30 men (only 15 to 20 most of the time) could have mined that much material in the short time described, let alone process it without a process for doing so. So very-very clearly the author was completely oblivious to these facts when he penned his story many years later. i.e., the author had no first hand knowledge of hard rock mining or the refining process, nor did he have any first hand knowledge about a few other things relating to the adventure as well. In short, his story is 100% made up.
Your reasoning is accurate. Fictional story. Do you think that the story is a house for a game cipher? In other words, do you think that a message is hidden in this one fictional story called The Beale Papers...a message very, very cleverly hidden within? I know I'm pi**ing people off, but...no shenanigan...it's finished. I can't think of a better group of treasure professionals to be addressing than this group right here. And the lurkers ... to you I say, be patient. I am unable, have no right, to reveal anything yet. Don't be mad. Behind the scenes there is a rustling of activity. You're sharp Bigscoop. Franklin...ECS...skepticism is good. You will not be disappointed to a 99.9 degree of surety. This is no joke. Make it one if you wish...but, no.
The clincher to all of this is why any codes at all. Thomas Beale says he trusted Robert Morris to keep his locked box for him or one of his men. Why should TJB encode the names of his party? Why make a code where the treasure was buried? All seems quite clear when the author says he decoded the contents of the treasure first. But really the author did not know which paper was #1, #2 oe #3 yet his decipherment says that the names of all his associates are in #3 and the treasures exact location is in #1. How would anyone guess that the author was going to solve #2 first and it would contain saying paper #1 or paper #3. It is the lure of treasure and the author used it for bait and the fish keep biting hoping to make money from books or television. Same with Oak Island and New Ross. All for the money from television. Legrand knows this when he got picked up off this forum to do a show on Beale's Treasure on the DECODED, History Channel. I turned down the History Channel when they filmed Smith & Jones. I turned down DECODED when legrand did the show for them. I turned down BBC when they filmed at Johnson's Orchard, I turned down the Travel Channel which now wants to do a TV Show. I constantly get offers but I turn them down because all they want is a TV show and make money ----they do not care for you or your content they just want something to film. Others out there are doing the same they could care less whether the story is true or not they only want their TV Show.
If you are claiming a "hidden message" is contained in this "fictional story" what you then need to establish is the reason and motive as to WHY James Beverly Ward copyrighted and had his cousin John William Sherman print the pamphlet for publication and sale.... Fictional story. Do you think that the story is a house for a game cipher? In other words, do you think that a message is hidden in this one fictional story called The Beale Papers...a message very, very cleverly hidden within?
