There's a part where, he asks Beson to whisper a number into his ear.

I do not know what that part meant. Stephen King never returned to the possible significance of a number being whispered to Peter by Beson. Was that a gaffe, or does someone here know what it meant?

I've always assumed that the "number" was the price for services to be rendered (contacting the judge, bringing up the napkins, etc) so that he could include it in his letter.

Boy, it's been a long time since I read that book, but I remember enjoying it quite a bit.
