COMMENT

For over 100 years this has been a nondecrypted message. Only the second Beale cipher has been solved.

In addition to numbered pages cited in Hoffman's book (with the three cyphers quoted in their entirety on pages 63 - 66), the page before the title page of the 1988 edition gives the first five terms of the first cypher with the teaser "Will Jeff Beale's treasure ever be found?" - Alonso Delarte (alonso.delarte(AT)gmail.com), Mar 10 2007
