Morse, three pages, 8vo, New York, 30th April 1862, to Rev. J. Treadwell Walden. Morse acknowledges receipt of his correspondent's courteous letter and a copy of the Atlantic Monthly, remarking 'I have read with deep interest your admirably written article to which you refer, and were I to designate its character, and the impressions it has made upon me, of its high intellectual power, in fitting terms, I might perhaps, be accused of being unduly influenced by its panegyric and the flattering terms in which you are pleased to speak of my humble instrumentality in introducing to the world the invention which has modified so greatly, and is still further to modify the intercourse of the nations' and further adding 'While conscious of the position which humanly speaking has justly been assigned to me by the almost unanimous voice of the civilized world (Great Britain as a Government is an exception) I can say to you that I yet am fully sensible that I am a wea[k] if an honored instrument in the ha[nd] of the giver of every good and perfec[t] gift, by whom it has pleased Him to grant this boon to his children, and to Him be all the glory'. In concluding Morse invites his correspondent to call upon him either at his residence in New York during the winter or in Po'keepsie during the summer and in a postscript adds 'I send you a copy of a pamphlet (no longer present) which embodies my views on the troubles that distract our country'. A letter of interesting content relating to Morse's contribution to the invention of a single-wire telegraph system. Some light overall age wear and light staining and a few small areas of paper loss, neatly and professionally repaired, only very slightly affecting a few words of text and not the signature, G Jacob Treadwell Walden (1830-1918) American Episcopal Clergyman and Author who was appointed on two special commissions by the United States Sanitary Commission in 1864 to investigate the treatment of prisoners of war. He later lived in England from 1886-89 during which time he preached in Westminster Abbey and wrote The Story of England in Westminster Hall. Father of Arthur Treadwell Walden (1871-1947) American Klondike Gold Rush Adventurer and a member of Byrd's first Antarctic Expedition. Morse's declaration that the Government of Great Britain were an exception to the 'unanimous voice of the civilized world' was made as a result of the English scientist and inventors Charles Wheatstone (1802-1875) and William Cooke (1806-1879) launching a commercial telegraph prior to the American inventor. Wheatstone and Cooke patented the electrical telegraph in 1837 however, within a few years their multiple wired signalling method was overtaken by Morse's cheaper method and the American fought vigorously to be called the sole inventor of the electromagnetic telegraph despite the previous inventions. The Morse telegraphic apparatus was officially adopted as the standard for European telegraphy in 1851 and only the United Kingdom (with its extensive overseas empire) kept the needle telegraph of Wheatstone and Cooke.

BRUNEL ISAMBARD KINGDOM: (1806-1859) British Engineer. A fine A.L.S., I K Brunel, five pages, 8vo, n.p., 1st September n.y. (c.1854?) to a gentleman ('My dear Sir'). Brunel states that he wrote yesterday to enquire 'if we could take in hand a girder or two for the Wolverhampton bridge', adding that it is important, although remarking 'we must not in such a case be longer about it than the other matters'. Brunel further informs his correspondent 'I want Cootes and another man of the same class and not less than a couple of workmen…..to go to Birmingham to remain there for a fortnight or so. If they are there to begin work Tuesday morning. Butram (?) will give them direction. Their business will be cutting one twice and patching up existing work - and I want two engineer men - each to take a couple of bridges and as many men as they can get - and as it is very difficult to get men there you must send me as many as you can. I would employ 6 or 8 easily. They must take chisels & hammers and two or three ratchet braces so for cutting out rivets, rimming the holes and riveting up again - rimming tools for 7/8 holes will be very useful' and concludes by stating 'Let me know what can be done'. With blank integral leaf. Letters by Brunel referring to his engineering work are scarce and desirable. A couple of small ink smudges, one close to (but not affecting) the signature and one only very slightly affecting one word of text. VG The present letter possibly dates from 1854 and may be written in regard to Brunel's work for the Great Western Railway on their Birmingham Snow Hill to Wolverhampton Low Level Line. The opening of the line had been delayed for two months in 1854 due to the collapse of a bridge which caused Brunel to order strengthening on several other bridges.
