Leonard Gale letter to C. F. Wood

Manuscripts

In his short letter to C. F. Wood, Gale states: "Knowing that you feel interested in the correspondence about the telegraph, I send to you for perusal...the enclosed pamphlet which I received last week." The "pamphlet" is a reprint of an article entitled "History Getting Right on the Invention of the American Electro-Magnetic Telegraph." This article implies that the true inventor of the telegraph was Professor Joseph Henry and that Samuel Morse, Gale, and Alfred Vail are getting improper credit. Gale writes in his letter "Of course, I shall not reply to such a low attack."
