Puzzle note in Lawrence man’s prize challenge teased by odd decoders
A Lawrence Missouri man offered a prize to anyone who could decipher a note in his possession said to be written by Hor an Creeley. Several people attempted the cryptogram which resembled a quotation from a Catoose paper and involved a sausage cutter in the process. Another deciphering attempt turned up a passage about indigestion from fried sausage while a third taunted abolitionists with a taunt about offspring. A young woman claimed a line about sparkling bandy nights. The note’s purported author, identified as H. Gresley, was described as a chair of a lecture committee in 1870, though the note’s translator was not intended to lecture this work.
