Which brings us to the "unknown author".
"knowledge of this affair was confined to a very limited circle-the WRITER's IMMEDIATE FAMILY, and to one old and valued friend".
The author, who is presenting this portion of the Beale Papers in first person states that he is member of this family.
When telling the history of Robert Morriss and his encounter with the mysterious "Thomas Beale", the author resorts to telling the story in omniscience third person, then returns to first person after he receives the iron box with the ciphers, and is shown the "letters" (the Beal Papers) that are the basis of the adventure treasure story.
The only other person present in this section, is the person with whom Morriss was staying with- James Beverly Ward, his nephew.
Remember, the author has already stated that he is part of this family, and during the "2nd year of the Confederate War", had business in Richmond.
As deduced by researcher, Peter Viemeister, the author was Ward's first cousin, CSA Major F C Hutter, who had connections to St Louis, and to Confederate ciphers and codes.

AND! After the CONFEDERATE WAR, FC Hutter (working "under" another REB, Capt. J.H. Rives) in the City of Lynchburg Internal Revenue Dept./Services would have known of "SUDDEN WEALTH", if... indeed, it WAS the CSA Treasury - WESTERN DIVISION of Virginia for Lynchburg/Lexington, Va. and the Virginia Military Institute (VMI). The FEDS were NOT amused...

ACTUALLY, ES was a "GRAD" (Class of 1859); so was their brother, J. Risque (Class of 1860)... FC went to West Point, did not graduate; so did "JB" Ward.

The author in his third person description of Robert Morriss, does omit a very basic fact of Morris's career.

I'm referring to how you had your original theory here, and nothing else could be possible. Then someone sent you something on a different theory and then you did a 180 degree turn, and now the new theory is the only thing possible. It's not the taking of information from other sources, or even the changing of the mind, but the absoluteness of each theory you come up with. Everyone on this forum is subordinate to you when it comes to the truth about the Beale story, no matter how many times you change your theory. Each time, you're right and everyone else is wrong.

Yes, I do take information from other places, I just don't change my mind every time the wind blows, and claim that THIS IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE WAY each time. I like to find things either from near the period in question, or at least things that line up with what I'm saying. That, for some reason, seems to threaten you.

Fresh Ideas, like maybe the treasure consisting of gold and silver ore, instead of pure gold and silver. There's nothing in the Beale story to refute that idea, which is all it is, an idea. I'm not as cock-sure as you are.

This response to Bigscoop's #278 post reveals that you don't comprehend how Bigscoop proposes an outside possible outside connection to the Beale story, then by discussion and debate with others , presenting all the pros and cons eliminating all possibilities, either keeps or rejects the theory after analyzing what remains.
It is called deduction.

You have no Idea what I comprehend, or what bigscoop and I have talked about. It just so happens that I have commended bigscoop on his theory, because I think it could be the correct one. COULD BE. So now you are adopting bigscoops theory? After putting down other people for believing differently than yourself, and even making fun of some of them, you will now attempt to stand with them just to be against me? Well, ECS, you have wasted your time, because bigscoop and I have communicated many times, and I think I can speak for us both when I say, there is a mutual appreciation. I simply don't agree with the IMPOSSIBILITY of the Beale story having happened as the story tells. There's a good chance it DIDN'T happen that way, but I don't think it's impossible, that's all. There are also other theories and Ideas about the Beale story that I like, I just haven't been posting about them lately. Please stop trying to place a wall between me and other posters. It's not going to work.
 

Now I'm building walls? Where do you come up with this stuff?
...and why do my posts disturb you so much that you must continue to harass me?
This is an open discussion after all, no need for you prejudiced judgments.
 

[In 1940, the "Camp Beale" area consisted of grassland and rolling hills and the 19th century mining town of Spenceville. Then, Marysville city officials encouraged the Department of War to establish a military facility in the area. The U.S. government purchased 87,000 acres (350 km2) in 1942 for a training post for the 13th Armored Division, the only unit of its kind to be entirely trained in California. Camp Beale also held training facilities for the 81st and 96th Infantry Division, and a 1,000-bed hospital. Dredge tailings from the area's abandoned gold mines were used to build streets at the Camp.]
