Just Enough Time to Deliver the Message

Justin Case and Auntie Bellum are fellow con artists who deliver coded messages to each other to communicate. Recently Auntie Bellum was put in jail for stealing a rare and expensive diamond. Only a few days after this, Justin Case sent her a friendly letter asking her how she was. On the inside of the envelope of the letter, he hid a code. Yesterday, Auntie Bellum escaped and left the envelope and the letter inside the jail cell. The police did some research and found the code on the inside of the envelope, but they haven't been able to crack it. Could you help the police find out what the message is?

This is the code:

OK... I think this has been up long enough without a solution. If you scan the code left to right, you should notice that there are some regular English words in there:

watch
clock
sundial
timer

These words do not appear to be related to the rest of the code, so separate them out. You are left with:

llawtfelniskcirbesool

Read it backwards: loose bricks in left wall.
