The treasure was in a place called Peggy's Cave. Jenny's aunt, as mentioned before was a great scholar, so she wouldn't have made all those mistakes in her writing. All the spelling and grammatical mistakes put together will spell Peggy's Cave....for you. please... (P)

This is like the letter in the 3rd "Series of Unfortunate Events" book. I'm guessing you read the book and redid the riddle.
Great one! I knew it had something to do with the spelling and grammer or it wouldn't have been accepted.
thanks, and yes I kind of did the same thing as the book. *Sorry* I love all of those books!!! I read everyone of his books! They were wonderful! ;)
Great teaser, lucky that I read A Series of Unfortunate Events #6... or #5 :S
thanks rose_rox! Weren't those books great?
I love those books too! I can't wait for #10 to come out this september!
Yeah! I know!!!!!!!! I'm soooooooo excited!
There were supose to be 13 books in the whole series right?
I enjoyed this one. I almost went through and corected all the misspelled words until I realized it would have long been corrected and started re-reading.
Clever!
Nice one!
Great one!! I knew it had something to do with grammar. When I was writing it down I got distracted by my 24inch plasma flatscreen and didnt write it down properly. Devan Blue NY

Very clever. I didn't get the correct answer, but I was on the right track. Thank for posting.
