An old source of mine recently discovered this in some old archives, she was less than clear whose archives they were. Definitely sheds a little extra light on the events of '68, not sure what the coding is at the end though perhaps it is the start of something. The text is as it was when she gave to me.
"In the year of our Lord 1968 2nd April, the darkness came upon us, bad times. The streets seem to change overnight become more of a slick oily feel to them. I suppose it didn't really happen overnight but when the Palers came among us it felt that way. They were rich spent a lot a money with us girls back then. Fay always said she was the first but she always said that. She never liked her first name for some reason and I always liked the name Sarah. She died God rest her soul last year of course but she swore she had the first of the Palers. (F) kv: wtet://kxnjyia.czq/9o29qf7"
Note: This appears to be in Keyed Vigenére Cipher although I haven't worked out the passphrase as yet. Codes isn't really my thing.
What? Wow, long time no hear, Foilhead..
ReplyDeleteI believe you have me at a disadvantage, I do not know you but it is jolly good of to you comment. Have you perhaps decoded the code at the end of the Sister Mary's text?

Excellent good chap...where does it lead to exactly I see another code on this site too?
ReplyDeleteThe all knowing amandel says that leads to http://tinyurl.com/97fgert

Jack the Ripper interesting indeed, well that lines up with Sister Mary's text. The events of '68 are well known even if the Empire wants to keep quiet.
ReplyDeleteThat image looks like an early fontograph, I'm not really up on fontographic techniques but I understand that you can put extra information into fontographs like the time is was taken, contact details etc. Maybe there is more information contained within the image.
