Doubleday Admits It!!
In Response To: Re: Pam ()

"Fearing that in the course of events our correspondence might be tampered with, I invented a cipher which afterward proved to be very useful. It enabled me to communicate, through my brother in New York, much valuable information to Mr. Lincoln at Springfield, Preston King, Roscoe Conkling, and other leaders of public opinion, in relation to our strength and resources."

How I missed this tid-bit I don't know, but Abner Doubleday admitted in his own book about Fort Sumter that he was a political mole and disloyal officer!.
