Excert from new puzzle
Code crackers wanted!

A little over a year ago, the Fermilab Office of Public Affairs received a curious letter in code (see the image to the right). It has been sitting in our files all that time and we haven’t had much of a chance to look into breaking the code, nor are we particularly expert at this!
If you have a cryptological bent, perhaps you’d take a crack at this code and email us anything you find at letters@symmetrymagazine.org.
Note that this scan is from a fax of the original. The holes punched in it were not in the original and a tiny sliver has been cut off the top of the page where the fax information was printed. I’m hoping that the precise positioning on the page isn’t relevant!
