CENTURIES OLD SECRET CODE!!!!
Dear Spies and Snoops,
Well this is a real challenge! Look what the Word Spy found yesterday in the National Archives in Paris.
A love letter in code from 1783 - from an unknown young woman to her cousin Pierre (who sadly died in a duel a few years later).
She wrote in code to keep her love a secret. If you look closely, you will see some of the letter are replaced with numbers.
Have a close look at the last two lines.

Hem, one problem. She wrote in FRENCH. So you will need to know French to work out the code.
Hint - the word "JE" means "I". In the letter, "JE" is "32"
I'll tell you the answer tomorrow!
