All I know is that it appears there was something in Richmond that a lot of these people were connected to in some way. Quite often when you find one of them there you'll trace others to Richmond at the same time, regardless of the distance having to be traveled. "Why did they need to be there?" That is the looming question at this time.
1) Why did Joseph Bonaparte write his letters to Monroe from Richmond at the same time the Laffite's were there?
2) During this same period why did the Laffite's spend nearly a full year there and what important business were they tending to?
3) Why did our unknown author have to return to Richmond to tend to important business affairs?
4) Why did the Laffites and J. Bonaparte frequent Richmond throughout the period?
5) Why was Jerome Bonaparte in Richmond in the 60's looking to by select pieces of property?
6) Why did Neploean III have representives in Richmond at the same time Jerome was looking to buy property?
7) Why was Lallemand and others in Richmond and the surrounding region?
And the list goes on and on.
In 1817 the Americans advance into Florida, Monroe sighting a secret resolution that was passed in 1811 permitting to resort to such action. In his address to congress/senate in regard to the matter he also singles out "the banditi at Galveston Island" as representing the same threat as though of Amelia Island. Why did he address the situation at Amelia Island with military force but decline to do so at Galveston Island? In both locations this banditi had presented written proclamation to the US of the newly formed governments they had established, the very substance/threat the 1811 resolution served to prevent which was later again echoed in the Monroe Doctrine. Why was Laffite allowed to remain in Galveston Island until after the Adam's Onis Treaty had been "ratified". And a few years later we're all back in Richmond again, penning letters to James Monroe regarding payments for services rendered. Richmond is the key to unlocking the Beale mystery.
F.C. Hutter was the author ("BP"); CSA Pay-master, had to return to Richmond, Va. BEFORE "the city" fell to Yanks. ALL Richmond, Va. "stores" were to be moved to Lynchburg, Va. & "points" WEST; as ordered by Prez Jeff Davis... per recommendation of Gen. Robert E. Lee. AND! MAX's GOLD had to be "resolved" as he was Emperor of MEXICO; CSA Treasury had some French "donations" to the REBELS... "google" Emperor Maximilian - Mexico; missing TREASURES.
