RevQuest: Sign of the Rhinoceros

July 1776
Williamsburg
 

My Friend,

Our country is forever indebted to you for saving the Revolution! Congratulations on successfully uncovering the Poisoned Peas plot. General Washington is indeed safe in New York & in good health. Major Baylor, who remains with the commander-in-chief, reports that the General is ably preparing the army for the arrival of British troops sitting on ships off the coast. I am told that the large number of ships in view from the harbour is unsettling. However, had you not discovered the plot, we would be without our strongest leader just as the King’s army is about to strike us.

I have included some information to the right that will provide greater detail about the incident you revealed. You have displayed superior ciphering skills & I trust you will keep using your Cipherbook to pass secret messages that cannot be understood by our enemy. As further news of events in New York arrive in Williamsburg, I will post more information so please check back. And should I hear of any other plots, I will most certainly call upon you, the Truest Friend of Liberty!

Your humble servant,
