John William James' letter has odd characters throughout his letter. He has exchanged some of the L's and O's for ones and zeroes such as the following:

T0DAY the air tastes sweet and fine, the sounds of birds tweet 1ively by, and I can N0W enjoy a warm espresso as I p1ease. I feel relaxed and free and I CANN0T remember time when I last felt this way. On cloudy days I like to ST0P for a bit of choco1ate in the midd1e of this village. Yes, I am neither H0ME nor home, but between two wor1ds. My past 1ays before and 1ays behind, and the future is everywhere I am.

P0OR Lloyd. He will never know the C0SMIC paradigm shifts wrought courtesy of the bequest to his on1y C0MPANION of his father's inheritance. I SH0ULD say, Daddy must have fe1t quite guilty; after all he did ABAND0N his boy.

Speaking of gifts, I wou1d like you to start L00KING back through the 1itt1e gifts I've given you. One of them is perhaps the M0ST important of them a1l, and yet the least CONSPICU0US. I know you still have it. Treasure it; you have PR0VED yourse1f as worthy and capab1e in your ro1e as Herodotus or Sima Qian.

I wi1l make - 0UT here and along the way - new friends, but D0 not fret; you are still dearest to my heart. WITH0UT you, none of this would be P0SSIBLE. WTH0UT you, my story wou1d not be archived for the annals of HIST0RY. Without you, I could not C0NTINUE.

Writing all these ones and zeroes down in sets of eight, we get a binary code of:

01010011 = S

01110010 = r

01010011 =S

01001111=O

00000100 =4
