Saml Dean and his better 1/2 passed here on their way east yesterday.  Mr. D. appeared as if the Delurium Trejams had the best of him.  Was in an awful shakey condition and talked a little wild.  He said that he had written you twice, but no attention was paid his communications.  Became very much hurt about it.  I said "pitty" &c  He was very anxious that I should see the dame, but excused myself on the ground that biz, occupied preference over pleasure but was considerably pained that I should be deprived the unbounded pleasure, I saw Mrs. D. in the distance and her nose resembled very much the pure ext of "Old Rye" although I am aware that folks sometimes belie their appearance.  They desired to be remembered to Mr Hamilton and the rest of the family.  Mrs. D. wished (thur her husband) that I should embrace you for her, promised to do so on sight.

Foolishly Yours

Moore

P. S. Plese 2 Doz Ext Lemon if any on hand. M

Moore, born to Robert and Ann Moore in Georgia in 1843, lost his parents to a cholera epidemic during the 1850s. A widowed aunt living in Washington, D.C. took in Moore and his four sisters. At the age of twelve he worked as a page in the U.S. Senate and later became a bailiff for the U.S. Supreme Court.

 

Because of deteriorating health, a doctor advised Moore to go west to seek a healthier climate. After a journey by rail he traveled the Oregon and Bridger trails to the Montana goldfields. From there he went to southeastern Wyoming territory working for William A. Carter at Fort Bridger. After creation of the Wind River Reservation in 1868, Moore applied for the post trader’s position at the newly created fort on the reservation. He received the appointment in 1870. He became a successful businessman and good friend to Chief Washakie, leader of the Shoshone Indians.

 

“We commend him to the confidence of the public.” So stated Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Roger B. Taney in a letter of introduction for James K. Moore as he was about to embark on a journey westward during the spring of 1864. In a few short years Moore’s travels took him to the Wind River Reservation, located in the Territory of Wyoming, where he served as the post trader and Indian trader for several decades at Fort Washakie.
