Those letters seem to be more a key, less of a code. They act as a guide to deciphering the code, but without a code to decipher it's useless.

For example: lets assume the code is a string of letters, like ABCDEFG. According to the key on page 12, A, B and C would be 1, 2, 3 and D, E, F, G would follow as suit in being 4, 5, 6, 7. So from ABCDEFG we get 1234567 - the letters are the key and the numbers are the code. It's common for codes to have keys, so as to better obscure their use by third parties who aren't aware of the key.

Makes sense. The problem is we have no idea what the letters we're looking for actually are.

Hrm, yeah. Unless the bloody writing is meant to spell out the code and not...well...

[Yeah.]
