You now realize the rumors of  gold in California are true. Open
the  letter, and  read the   letter. Notice  the words  that are

strange Jake saying he was  burying your father when your father
has been buried in Brooklyn since 1839. You also find it strange
that  Jake intentionally  cut holes  in the  letter. You will be
able to use these clues later.

Hint:
First of all,  talk to everyone in the Fort.  A friend of Jake's
has some interesting thing's to  tell you. Second, remember Jake
wrote he  was burying your  father, even though  your father was
buried in  Brooklyn in 1839?  The graveyard is  a good place  to
look for clues.

There are three clues on the  gravestone. Do you see the cannon?
There will be another cannon in the game. Watch for it. Psalm 23
is referring  to a Hotel in  town you should go  to. To find the
third clue, type  "use letter", and use your  arrow keys to move
the  letter until  you get   a message,  "hold it  right there".
Unscramble the letters, and they will  show you a secret room in
the Hotel you need to find.
