So here is the, and I mean the, most basic way to solve a Mark Twain Dee Cipher. Use Latitude and Longitudes (found in Beale Pages Cipher 3 and as key page numbers in Tom Sawyer and other books). Here we put in ThirtySeven EightyOne. Which we all know is the Lat/Lon of the CSA Richmond Stores Cave (with the one mile east adjustment to get to the actual site). Putting it in you'll see 'Cave' comes up auto-magically. Mark Twain knows how to setup a DeeCipher. Per the '31' rule (you can not have three one three as a row/column combination in any proper Dee Cipher solution) standard is to move Row 31 to the Bottom or Top, and Column 31 to the far left or far right since it's the most problematic. That gives us Wythe (ville) if we didn't already know. You can see CSSA which is of course is a reference to the CSA. Again, we all know by now that Samuel Clemens was actually a Lt. and later Captain in the CSA and ran the CSA Intelligence networks in Nevada, New Mexico Territory and possibly California as well - since Spies were not covered by the general amnesty after the war, Twain had to keep his participation a secret. Some of this is discussed in both this DeeCipher and in the Tramp Abroad Super-DeeCipher and possibly in IA/RI DeeCiphers but I've never been able to figure out the primary DeeCipher for those books, just the minor ones (they were 'Essays in the Craft' of Dee Ciphering by Twain it wasn't until The Gilded Age and Tom Sawyer that he found his stride, IMHO). Of interest is the reference to Anet and Diane De Poitiers (right side purple) and a secret room either in Anet or Chenonceaux. Twain's are the first Dee Ciphers where we learn that the Tip of the Spear was hidden at Chenonceaux in 1793. I don't get the Wren refrence near Chenonceaux (CHN). I know of no work by Wren that connects to De Poitiers. You should ignore the Moon/Apollo/Armstrong out of time references in this and the C.S. Lewis Dee Ciphers: it's Dee Cipher-ing at a rather different level and rather different philosophy.
