Diary Entry: July 2, 1864
Maintenance around the hotel is so dreary. Tomorrow I am expecting deliveries from two different establishments via Pony Express.
Repairs in the kitchen will be completed when I receive a "3M Replacement Water Filter Cartridge, 25,000 Gallons, White, 4.9" L x 4.9" W x 10.5" H" that I ordered from Staples.
Repairs for the new-fangled motorcar will be completed when I receive a "Warn Plastic For Xd9I Winch With Roller Fairlead Mounted On Transformer System Only" that I ordered from AutoZone.
I hope they arrive on time!
Background on the Whitehall Mystery series
Early in the nineteenth century, prominent citizens from around the northeast would travel by four-horse stagecoach to visit Hopkinton’s famous “Mineral Springs and Hotel” located about four miles from the town’s center.
In the mid-1800’s the hotel was burned to ground under highly suspicious circumstances. Lost in the fire was a set of priceless jewels that were never recovered, but stories quickly began to circulate that one of the hotel staff members had removed the jewels during the fire and hidden them in the woods nearby. This hotel staff member has never been identified.
Not long after the fire, Lake Whitehall was created by holding back portions of the Sudbury River when public health officials determined in 1878 that additional sources of drinking water were required to support the needs of the Boston area.
It was thought that the jewels were lost forever; however, there has been a new development in the story. Eight pages of a diary believed to have been owned by the mysterious staff member have been located. Each page seems to contain a clue to the hiding place of the jewels.
It is hoped that by solving these clues you will be able to locate the missing jewels…good luck!
