Hi List
For those of you who have seen the new issue of Meteorite Time you may have noticed that Anne in her article about the Monnig papers on the Harriman meteorite that one note was in code only partly decoded. Here is the rest of that coded message.


..... in Chattanooa and had turned the matter of recovering possession over to an attorney. How much luck do you think then will have. Fortunately I never did write _ones. Do you have any further instructions in the matter.


The spelling of Chattanooga was wrong in the coded message the cipher for "g" was missing in the word. Also, will is will not WE'LL as I think it should be. But, he had not editor in his coding writing. Also, I could not definitively determine the letter where the _ is, which seems to be a name. Because, "c" is used only once as a cipher and X, Z, and Q are all available and Caps can be more than one cipher it seems. Jones was my guess but I leave the answer to someone else.

Thanks Anne it was a fun project.

Best regards, Jim Tobin
