With all the ruckus in the news recently, I almost missed this small news item. Seems an old scrap of paper was found in the basement of some old British castle alluding to a hidden treasure. It wasn't easy, but was able to find the actual text of the document, and have reprinted it below. So far, it appears the government and university types have been stymied. Can it be that difficult?
JS,
I pray you receive this, my friend. Charles has sealed my fate and my hour is near. You proved your loyalty to me and the crown and, save for Col. G, might have succeeded in restoring order to these last days. The location of my earthly fortune is known only to me and will follow me to the grave unless you receive this. Though I have gained the confidence of a loyalist sentry, I do not believe him entirely trustworthy. Pym has long arms and many ears. You alone, my friend, hold the key to my estate.
Glory to God and to the King.
