just had a conversation about the Beale ciphers last month
a couple of points of convo
1. why not a reprint of TBP after fire or sell to another publication
2.could have Pike mentioned the group in his papers
(i have not looked for Pike papers yet)
3.where would TJB,or members get a book/s for ciphers
(this i looked for and found a source)
Frederick August Mayo (1785–1853), bookbinder of Richmond,Va.
