A transcript of the papers, including all 3 cipertexts: http://unmuseum.org/bealepap.htm

Summary article with data for cipers 1 and 2: http://www.albany.net/~cybernet/beale.htm

The graphs below take the data for ciphers 1 and 2 from http://www.albany.net/~cybernet/beale.htm and for cipher 3 from http://unmuseum.org/bealepap.htm Points of interest include the "gaps" in the sorted plot for Ciphertext3, the "streaks" in the original data for Cipertext3, and the "807" line in the original data for Cipertext2 (which corresponds to the letter "i" from the word "into").
