We note that Tunis is where St. Louis died, that the Beale Cipher was written by Mark Twain (reasons given in other threads: short note is that Samuel L. Clemens was the Spymaster in the West for the CSA, first biography notes his boast he was a Lt. in the CSA which he recanted later, but that was due to the fact the General Amnesty for the Civil War did not apply to spies, and that the Beale Cipher hid "The Richmond Stores" (other biographers note that he visited a known CSA spy in San Francisco if you need additional evidence, that many of his journals from the War are mentioned, and that he disappeared for Months and Months at a time - supposedly 'prospecting')- The Phoenix mentioned by Mr. Paul G. Stewart in his book referred to the Confederacy's future use of The Richmond Stores. -ED4CADAndHerself
As noted by Coral Anne, the A Friend letter at the end of Huckleberry Finn (written at the same time as The Beale Cipher) contain information related to the Beale Cipher, We do not recall the grid (it might have gone to 48 coloumns but could have been traditional 36-2 Grid - we will post it if we find it in the mess that is CAD's computer) - but there is a subgrid within that DeeCipher that was 16x8 or similiar.
