[There is a box given to a man in 1822. In that box was two letters dated 1822 and three ciphers.
A letter sent from St Louis week's later from Beale to Morriss gave some information about their plans and the box. Telling of a letter to be sent from this place ( St Louis ) with a key for the three ciphers. Dated and sealed in 1822 for delivery in 1832 by a friend.
The letter was to come to Mr Morriss, but didn't make it. This letter would have been dated 1822 if it was sealed at the time of the letter sent to Mr Morriss in 1822.
What other information would such a letter hold, you say?]
Box given in 22. With two letters in it and three pages of ciphers. That's a minimum of five pages. (In theory), all ciphers could have been on one page though they were not per 3 pages bandied about so ofen in regards to numerical order..., And too the two letters in the box could have been multi paged. Or front and rear of a page...
Anyways...Add the letter received shorty after for # 6...And the 32 letter for #7.
Could have been more pages , but a minimum of 7. By your quoted post's contents count.
That sounds right to me! Four letters if 32 made it and three ciphers. Not sure if Bigscoop would agree though?
