The telegraph sent messages by wire from local to intercontinental distances, using the Morse Code or long and short electrical pulses. A short letter sent by telegraph, as in the example photographed above, is a called a 'telegram', and could considered almost an early form of e-mail. The sending and receiving machines for these were called 'teleprinters'.
