A Great Cipher Left Undeciphered by William Blencowe

An intercepted letter from the French foreign minister Torcy to French ministers sent to the peace talk at Geertruidenberg, dated 3 April 1710, is endorsed "M Blencow cannot decypher them."
Filed with it is another letter from Marshal Villars to the Abbé de Polignac, dated 1 June 1710. This also seems to be undeciphered.
I uploaded a new article "A Great Cipher Left Undeciphered by William Blencowe" describing BL Add MS 61575 including these. I also added references to these undeciphered pieces in "Unsolved Historical Ciphers"
