All I know is that it appears there was something in Richmond that a lot of these people were connected to in some way. Quite often when you find one of them there you'll trace others to Richmond at the same time, regardless of the distance having to be traveled. "Why did they need to be there?" That is the looming question at this time.
1) Why did Joseph Bonaparte write his letters to Monroe from Richmond at the same time the Laffite's were there?
2) During this same period why did the Laffite's spend nearly a full year there and what important business were they tending to?
3) Why did our unknown author have to return to Richmond to tend to important business affairs?
4) Why did the Laffites and J. Bonaparte frequent Richmond throughout the period?
5) Why was Jerome Bonaparte in Richmond in the 60's looking to by select pieces of property?
6) Why did Neploean III have representives in Richmond at the same time Jerome was looking to buy property?
7) Why was Lallemand and others in Richmond and the surrounding region?
And the list goes on and on.
In 1817 the Americans advance into Florida, Monroe sighting a secret resolution that was passed in 1811 permitting to resort to such action. In his address to congress/senate in regard to the matter he also singles out "the banditi at Galveston Island" as representing the same threat as though of Amelia Island. Why did he address the situation at Amelia Island with military force but decline to do so at Galveston Island? In both locations this banditi had presented written proclamation to the US of the newly formed governments they had established, the very substance/threat the 1811 resolution served to prevent which was later again echoed in the Monroe Doctrine. Why was Laffite allowed to remain in Galveston Island until after the Adam's Onis Treaty had been "ratified". And a few years later we're all back in Richmond again, penning letters to James Monroe regarding payments for services rendered. Richmond is the key to unlocking the Beale mystery.
F.C. Hutter was the author ("BP"); CSA Pay-master, had to return to Richmond, Va. BEFORE "the city" fell to Yanks. ALL Richmond, Va. "stores" were to be moved to Lynchburg, Va. & "points" WEST; as ordered by Prez Jeff Davis... per recommendation of Gen. Robert E. Lee. AND! MAX's GOLD had to be "resolved" as he was Emperor of MEXICO; CSA Treasury had some French "donations" to the REBELS... "google" Emperor Maximilian - Mexico; missing TREASURES.

....all I said was that, "the events in 1817 - 1822 must be understood if the mystery is ever to be solved", meaning, "Even if it did have something to do with other events that took place some 40-50 years later." You can't take a "recorded event", which is what the Beale Pamphlet supposedly represents, and pretend those same events happened 50 years later just because it is convenient to do so. The 1715 Fleet sank in "1715" - it was discovered because accurate detailed records told of it's loss, it didn't sink in 1765 and it wasn't discovered because people spent their time researching documents and records in 1765. The Beale Pamphlet presented the mystery, detailing events that occurred in 1817 - 1822, it didn't present the mystery taking place in the 1860's. If your supposition is representing another era in time then you have an entirely different mystery. If you don't believe the details in the Beale Pamphlet then you are in essence saying that the entire mystery is a work of complete fiction, and if it is a fiction then there can be no truth to the proposed mystery at all. It's that simple.
