Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Side two of two-sided holograph letter dated 30 May 1838 written by William Fothergill Cooke to Sophia Macnamara Brunel Hawes, wife of Sir Benjamin Hawes and brother of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Letter pertains to Cooke's consummation of his negotiations with Mrs. Hawes' brother Isambard Kingdom Brunel relative to the electric magnetic telegraph installation on Brunel's Great Western Railway. This letter was the earliest one of two exemplar letters written by Cooke used by historian Richard Warren Lipack in the formulation of the comparative analysis by the standard paleography authentication process of the signature and handwriting found in the 1836-1842 manuscript journal of William Fothergill Cooke; which contributed to the final authentication of same. The Cooke journal, also known as Codex Lipack, pertains to the development of the first perfected commercial electric telegraph installations and systems in the world and what can be defined as the genesis of the "world-wide web" or "Internet." The Codex Lipack represents the earliest extant document pertinent to the invention and evolution of modern electric communications on Earth. |
