Professor Samuel Morse sent the first official long-distance telegram from the Chamber of the Supreme Court in Washington on May 24, 1844. He transmitted the dispatch as dictated by Miss Annie Ellsworth, which read, What hath God wrought. The hidden layer to this historic transmission lies in the identity of Annie Ellsworth, who was the young daughter of the U.S. Patent Commissioner. Morse granted her the honor of choosing the first message because she had been the one to rush to his side a year earlier to deliver the life-changing news that Congress had finally approved thirty thousand dollars to fund his experimental line. Her chosen phrase, pulled directly from the Bible, inadvertently set a permanent precedent for early telecommunications by framing technological leaps through a lens of divine wonder rather than human arrogance.
