Additional Information
This key consists of two tabels: one for ciphering and one for deciphering. It is a collection of 5 simple substitution alphabeths with capitals, indicating each couple of rows. It is unclear who devised this cipher, but it may have been used by Herman Tollius, former tutor of the young princes, acting as a liaison between the British or Hannvarian troops near the Dutch border, including remnants of the Dutch army and Prince William V, living in exile in London.
