Provenance: Col. Nathaniel Ramsay, brother-in-law of the artist; his daughter, Mrs. Daniel McHenry; her niece, Mrs. W.F. Brand; Mrs. B.F. O'Connor (in 1933 in the home of her son, Mr. F.B. O'Connor); Mr. F. Barnard O'Connor, New York, NY (died May 26, 1953); his wife, Mrs. F. Barnard O'Connor, New York, NY; Private New England Collection
Note: Referenced in Sellers (above) is a note written by Titian Ramsey Peale in which he (mis)attributes the painting to James Peale.

An aged pen and ink facsimile of that letter is preserved and visible at the back of the frame.

REQUESTING FUNDS TO CONTINUE TESTING FIRST-EVER TELEGRAPH LINE MORSE, SAMUEL F.B. Autograph Letter Signed, "S.F.B. Morse / Supt. Elec. Mag. Tel.," to Treasury Secretary McClintock Young, retained draft, in pencil with several holograph corrections in ink, requesting the remainder of the government appropriation to continue his Telegraph experiments. 2 pages, folio, with integral blank, ruled paper; faint scattered soiling, some foxing in left margin, horizontal folds, docketing on terminal page. (TFC) Washington, 29 June 1844to my salary. The 2d object . . . presupposes the work done. Its utility is now in process of being tested and I had supposed there could not be a doubt that the sum remaining from the expenses of construction, was legitimately used if applied merely to the keeping in repair and otherwise maintaining what has been constructed. . . . In the testing of the utility of the Telegraph I had conceived that experiments were included to ascertain the greatest economy of the materials that are consumed in the process of communicating intelligence, such as acid, zinc, & paper, the greatest amount of intelligence that can be communicated in a given time, and the actual cost . . . of maintaining stations, as also the demand likely to be made for the use of the telegraph. These points are not yet ascertained and experience alone . . . can satisfactorily determine them. With the approbation of the department, I have already made many experiments which have resulted in economical modes . . . which, if successful, will be the means of diminishing the cost of maintenance of the Telegraph many thousands of dollars . . . . "Should the opinion prevail however that no more of the appropriation can be drawn out upon my application, I beg it to be considered in what condition the property of the Gov't thus invested in the Telegraph will be left. I cannot bring myself to believe such a construction of the law as will endanger the whole work, will meet with the approval of the Department." After Morse's initial success in 1844, Congress debated whether to convert the telegraph service into an agency of the government, making the body reluctant to invest further in the Washington-Baltimore line. A conclusion was not reached until 1847, when Congress turned over the Washington-Baltimore line to the Magnetic Telegraph Co., judging the enterprise too risky to continue under public sponsorship.

[TAHITIAN BIBLE.]
Te Bibilia Moa Ra. And: Te Faufaa Api. London: Richard Watts for the British and Foreign Bible Society, 1838. [4], 752; [2], 229 pp. 8vo. Modern leather.
First complete edition of the Bible in any Polynesian language. "This translation was mainly the work of H. Nott, but he received considerable assistance from his colleagues, especially J. Davies, and from a native named Tuahine. The volume was printed at London, under the supervision of H. Nott, and at the cost of the B.F.B.S. (British Foreign Bible Society), which also made a grant to the L.M.S. (London Missionary Society) on account of expenses incurred in the preparation of the translation. The edition consisted of 3000 copies, which were conveyed by H. Nott to Tahiti in 1840, together with copies of No. 9081 (the New Testament). The books, which had been eagerly expected, were immediately bought up, a price equivalent to 8s. being paid for each Bible; and the cost of publication, as in the case of many other Polynesian edition printed by the same society, was refunded to the B.F.B.S" (Darlow and Moule, 9080 and 9081).

SAMUEL F. B. MORSE 1869 Lovely High Quality Short Autograph Letter Signed: Autographs. 1869 "Sam. F. B. Morse. " Lovely Autograph Letter Signed. SAMUEL F. B. MORSE (1791-1872). American Portrait Painter, Pioneer of Photography and Inventor of a single-wire Telegraph System and his "Morse Code. ". May 4, 1869-Dated, Autograph Letter Signed, "Sam. F. B. Morse. ", 5" x 8. 25", 1 page, New York, Choice Extremely Fine. Crisply penned short cordial Letter to J. B. Calder in Providence, Rhode Island. It reads, in full: "I cheerfully comply with your request of 3 May. " Typical transmittal folds, bright, fresh clean and well written with a wonderful signature, being excellent in its eye appeal for display. In 1825 New York City had commissioned Morse to paint a portrait of Lafayette in Washington, DC. While Morse was painting, a horse messenger delivered a letter from his father that read, "Your dear wife is convalescent". The next day he received a letter from his father detailing his wife's sudden death. . Morse immediately left Washington for his home at New Haven, leaving the portrait of Lafayette unfinished. By the time he arrived, his wife had already been buried. Heartbroken that for days he was unaware of his wife's failing health and her death, he decided to explore a means of rapid long distance communication. . While returning by ship from Europe in 1832, Morse encountered Charles Thomas Jackson of Boston, a man who was well schooled in electromagnetism. Witnessing various experiments with Jackson's electromagnet, Morse developed the concept of a single-wire telegraph. He set aside his painting, The Gallery of the Louvre. The original Morse telegraph, submitted with his patent application, is part of the collections of the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution. In time the Morse code, which he developed, would become the primary language of telegraphy in the world. It is still the standard for rhythmic transmission of data. . Meanwhile, William Cooke and Professor Charles Wheatstone had learned of the Wilhelm Weber and Carl Gauss electromagnetic telegraph in 1833. They had reached the stage of launching a commercial telegraph prior to Morse, despite starting later. In England, Cooke became fascinated by electrical telegraphy in 1836, four years after Morse. Aided by his greater financial resources, Cooke abandoned his primary subject of anatomy and built a small electrical telegraph within three weeks. Wheatstone also was experimenting with telegraphy and (most importantly) understood that a single large battery would not carry a telegraphic signal over long distances. . He theorized that numerous small batteries were far more successful and efficient in this task. (Wheatstone was building on the primary research of Joseph Henry, an American physicist. ) Cooke and Wheatstone formed a partnership and patented the electrical telegraph in May 1837, and within a short time had provided the Great Western Railway with a 13-mile (21 km) stretch of telegraph. However, within a few years, Cooke and Wheatstone's multiple-wire signaling method would be overtaken by Morse's cheaper method. . In an 1848 letter to a friend, Morse describes how vigorously he fought to be called the sole inventor of the electromagnetic telegraph despite the previous inventions. . I have been so constantly under the necessity of watching the movements of the most unprincipled set of pirates I have ever known, that all my time has been occupied in defense, in putting evidence into something like legal shape that I am the inventor of the Electro-Magnetic Telegraph! Would you have believed it ten years ago that a question could be raised on that subject?. . - S. Morse.
