I'm glad you are doing this. I have been very interested in Mobilian Jargon as well. What sort of resources are available out there to learn this language?

Currently in the process of obtaining an English manuscript which documented the language in 1862. Hopefully after that I can get a hold of the grammatical aspects and start producing texts.

Unfortunately the process of data gathering has been reduced to a snail's pace. I'm not much farther along than I was a couple months ago -.-
