Samuel Morse did not perfect anything formidable in 1837 because he had no knowledge of Joseph Henry's electric relay until he learned later of it while in England from Charles Wheatstone. It was the latter, who had, with William Fothergill Cooke, actually perfected the first commercial electric telegraph systems with the introduction of the Blackwall Railway installation in 1840. All other prior systems were basically trials. In 1844, Morse was still trying to get his system introduced in America and petitioned Congress with a trial demonstration between Baltimore and Washington, DC. Morse, who relied on Alfred Vail's expertise did not see his system commercially introduced until after 1847.
