OK, I'm going to post a single paragraph from the narration and let's see who picks up on the real content/message of this text? Read it carefully!
"It will be seen by a perusal of Mr. Beale's letter to Mr. Morriss that he promised, under certain contingencies, such as failure to see or communicate with him in a given time, to furnishing a key by which the papers would be fully explained. As the failure to do either actually occurred, and the promised explanation has never been received, it may possibly remain in the hands of some relative or friend of Beale's, or some other person engaged in the enterprise with him. That they would attach no importance to a seemingly unintelligible writing seems quite natural; but their attention being called to them by the publication of this narrative, may result in eventually bringing to light the missing paper."
I'm guessing none of you will even though it's all right there in front of you. So I'll give you a hint, it's not what you think it is. "Look deeper."

....What's interesting is that someone claims the entire story to be fiction, all except the portion regarding an actual treasure, that just HAS TO BE TRUE! Talk about having, "agendas!" So focused "on a real physical treasure" from a story that one claims is "entirely fiction" presents something of a paradox, don't you think. It's like saying Santa isn't real and then this same person spending the rest of his life looking for Santa's real bag full of toys and his flying reindeer, his toy factory in the North Pole. It's absolutely ridiculous!
