Dear son Yours of the 23 at hand. We were very glad to hear from you, and that you are well. Stick to it, if you are both agreed, and I think you must be by your writing. If you are like to get out of money let me know and I will remit.
You say nothing about the fort that the government has been building about ten miles south of Omaha and three or four miles west of Bellevue. They were at work on it when we were out there. We passed by it on our way form Bellevue to Papillion, with private conveyence. If you should have time to go there (Some Sunday perhaps) it is situated on land that Uncle Reuben owned, and I have worked on the same ground, many a day, from the years of 58 to 61. The pump station is on a farm that he owned in the Papio Creek of 320 acres and also a farm of 80 acres, (one section east). The last in sight of Bellevue about one mile northeast of last farm, is where Logan FONTANELLE, the chief of the Omaha Indians at that time, was buried on his live pony on top of the hightes point of land, there was a Indian burying ground about 80 rods west of the depot at Bellevue.
If you should get to Bellevue, You will find Archie WRIGHT in a large general store. He is a Dutchman. (His boy carried us to Papillion in a wagon. He will be glad to hear from me, also one Mr (KUSS?) lives there a minister of the gospel. You will find a little stone or gravel house, in the south west part of BGellevue, that Uncle built in 56. Also you will find the old white school house I went to the school in 58 and 59, about 80 rods North of where Uncle lived. I went into the old school house when I were there. The steamboat landing was then, near where the depot now is, and no buildings until you get up on the plateau where Bellevue was then. A part of the old mission house was standing when we were there. A block house built of logs a little northeast of A. WRIGHTS, Mr. William HAMILTON was the missionary there. He went sometime in the 49's and had charge of the Indian school in the block house. He was preaching there, when I lived there. (Is dead long ago) He had a brother Robert living near there then. When we were there in 72? I saw one of Robert HAMILTON'S girls. She was not married and must be a little older than you. Said R. HAMILTON owned the farm (as near as I can locate) where GILMORE station now is. I helped him cut his hay on that farm one year.
Harry CLARK and brother William were merchants in Bellevue when I lived there. Harry lives in Omaha and William in Papillion. Harry stutteres a little when he talks He now owns large tracts of land around Bellevue.
William ROBBINSON lives in Pappillion, near the depot. He held the office of county clerk when we were there. His office is in sight of depot. (I think a little northeast of depot.) He would be very glad to see you and hear from me. A nice old man. He has all of Uncle Reubens business to settle up there.
Now if you and Henry have a spare day, go down to Bellevue and the fort. An old school mate of mine, I think lives in Papallion by the name of Wallace ROGERS. I think he studdied law after I came home. He had two brothers, one by the name of Clayton and I have forgotten the other. Archie WRIGHT and Frank MYERS kept batchelors hall when I was there. Archie was a shoemaker, lives in Bellevue. ____ lives near A. WRIGHT store. There were remains of old forts along the bluffs north of Bellevue (Supposed to of been in use by the French years ago) You will see some cottonwood trees around uncle house that I set out in 59. The town had been surveyed and staked out with the park in front of Uncles house. He had one square there and other lots about town. Perchance Bobbie and I will be out to the exposition. I want her to see some of the west and I feel as if she ought to. We are usually well and wish both the same. Write when convenient. R. LOVEJOY

Note by Raymond JEFFERIES, family historian - We understand that a Reuben LOVEJOY was the first mayor of Bellevue. We think it was Reuben LOVEJOY, Uncle of the Reuben LOVEJOY that wrote this letter. The Reuben LOVEJOY that wrote this letter was father of William Reuben LOVEJOY, my wifes father. The original letter written in pencil and very faded so cannot say that I have deciphered all names right, but did my best.

DOC MIDDLETON, Life and Legends of the Notorious Plains
Outlaw, By Howard Hutton, 1974.
Doc: horse borrower, horse returner (not always
to the same person!), gambler, family man, secretive, generous,
sometimes sensitive, sometimes distressingly obtuse--in Mr.
Hutton's words, Doc develops into a character with whom the reader
can be empathetic, although the seamier side of the outlaw's life
is never glossed over. "Middleton Country" (north-central Nebraska
in the 1870's and '80's) jumps &live with descriptive accounts
of real people involved in real chases, shoot-outs, captures or
near-captures.
If you read this book cursorily - if you bypass
the notes for each chapter - if you ignore the bibliography and -
if you fail to study the family charts following page 240 or the
maps inside each cover, you still will get a vivid picture of Doc
Middleton's life - but you will lose the marvelous secondary story
of Mr. Hutton's unflagging search for the truth. And that search
should be a model and an inspiration for genealogists, Mr, Hutton
pinpoints his sources. He gives both sides when an issue is hazy
-- offering a good case in favor of his own interpretation, but
allowing the reader to draw his own conclusion. Obviously he was
thorough in his research -- it shows in this well disciplined
book, (Review by Peg Zubrick, Omaha)
