"The vision to see the treasured past comes as the timely shadow crosses in front of the House of Pass and Stow" was the result of using the Ottendorf Cipher on the back of the Declaration of Independence on the Silence Dogood Letters. This sentence meant that the glasses needed to view the next clue could be found where the "timely shadow" cross in front of Independence Hall, the house of the Liberty Bell, cast by John Pass and John Stow.
