Here are three variations of the message I broke in my blog post about the recently-unrolled Civil War Code. First, the ciphertext as best I could transcribe from a high-resolution photograph:
SEAN WIEUIIUZH DTG CNP LBNXGK OZ BJQB FEQT XZBW JJOA

Now, that same text cleaned up, once I’d recovered the key and corrected all the encoding, transcription, and handwriting interpretation errors:
SEAN WIEUIIUZH DTG CNP LBHXGK OZ BJQB FEQT XZBW JJOY
TK FHR TPZWK PVU RYSQ VOUPZXGG OEPH CK UASFKIPW PLVO

MFYSIN XY FQEO NPK M OBPC FYXJFHOHT AS ETOV B OCAJDSVQU

And, finally, for an added challenge, the clean ciphertext with word breaks removed:
