Morse had a bat- Λ tyΌ. tery set in his Capitol office and Cornell had a portable instrument at the advancing end of the line. In- structions and information could be transmitted and read by the tick of the magnet. Then on May 24, 1844, the first epoch-making message: "What Hath God Wrought!" was flashed from Washington to Baltimore. It was sent by Morse from the chamber of the US Supreme Court, and was repeated by Alfred Vail, his partner in patent ownership, at Baltimore. In the court chamber that day was an impressive crowd, including Henry Clay, who had started his campaign for the Presi- dency, and Dolly Madison, wife of James Madison, the fourth President.
