Morse
was away in
Washington,
D.C., taking up a commission to
paint the Marquis de Lafayette's
portrait. His father sent a letter with
the sad news, but Morse did not
receive it for several days. Unaware of
his
wife's death two days before, he wrote this letter to her about
the
election of John Quincy Adams as president and his first meeting with
Lafayette. By the time he returned home to New Haven, several days had
passed since her burial. It would be
nearly
two decades before Morse
would invent a device that could send such news immediately. |
