Summary

ᏄᏍᏛ ᏗᎧᏃᏗ
English: The first telegraph in history, sent by Samuel F. B. Morse from Washington, D.C. to Alfred Vail in Baltimore in 1844. Morse's message to Vail was signed by him and presented at the time to Annie Goodrich Ellsworth, the daughter of Morse's friend Henry Leavitt Ellsworth, United States Commissioner of Patents. Annie Ellsworth selected the verse from the Bible (Numbers XXIII, 23), and she traced in heavy pen and ink over the letters Morse had inscribed in pencil under each code character. In 1922, Mrs. George Inness Jr., wife of the American artist and daughter of Annie Ellsworth, donated the tape to the Library of Congress
