UPDATES
As Distant Writing is a work in progress constant additions and corrections are being made. The website was last substantially amended on July 20, 2008 with the history of the Oriental Telegraph Company and additional detail on the Electric Telegraph Company's foreign connections and its final years.
There continue to be minor corrections to fact and grammar, prompted by comments, correspondence and research.
